They might try to frame Harry for using dark magic with the snake or try to steal the snake to prove their superiority over Harry.

It could be a dark wizard who also has an interest in the snake. Maybe he wants to use the snake's powers for evil purposes, like opening a portal to a dark dimension or controlling other magical creatures. So he becomes the main obstacle for Harry as he tries to protect the snake.

The antagonist could be a jealous Slytherin student. They might see Harry's new snake as a threat to their own status in Slytherin house. So they try to steal the snake or harm it in some way.
