Yeah... the serpant is Satan. In original translations, they're one in the same.

And the reason Satan is not further punished is because he has already recieved the ultimate punishment: Hell and the Lake of Fire. Satan doesn't rule Hell, he is trapped and tortured there like anything else. He just is so dedicated to destroying all goodness that he fights through that to take humanity down with him. Fear and racism are concepts Satan planted, not humans. The Bible says that all humans are born good, but flawed, and it's Satan who plants all evil thoguhts and deeds. Humans cannot come up with evil on their own, according to the Bible.
