1) He merely shape-shifted as a snake.

2) Jerks and bullies are merely mean for the sake of being mean, they do it to feel superior, and are by definition small-scale and despicable.

4) Voldemort fits in "Sociopaths" because it is precisely said in the narration that he is absolutely unable to understand love, or bonds of any sort. His alien mindset is a plot point. For Palpatine and MANY others wrongly listed as sociopaths, it is simply the case of "Card Carrying Villains" who disregard love and mercy as weaknesses.

Heck, Palpatine can understand love and devotion, as he used Anakin's to corrupt him and tried to do the same with Luke. He simply underestimated it.
