They represent dangers in the quotation "we have scotched the snake not kill'd it" and in Macbeth's remark "there the grown serpent lies". When Lady M says to look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it, she also means to look innocent but to be dangerous. Snake meat is also added to the witches' brew ("fillet of a fenny snake") but that is probably just to add protein.
