Answer: Tim Roth

Tim Roth was originally cast and then backed out. I couldn't imagine a better person than Alan in the role.
According to IMDB: "Tim Roth was a leading contender for the role of Professor Severus Snape. Roth dropped out of contention, however, to pursue his role as General Thade in Tim Burton's adaptation of 'Planet of the Apes' (2001)." After that JK Rowling handpicked Alan Rickman.

Even in alien make-up, Alan Rickman is still the best.
