What spell kills Snape?

Severus Snape isn't killed by a specific spell but by the venom from Voldemort's snake, Nagini, after Voldemort uses a nonverbal spell to move Nagini's protective bubble, making Snape vulnerable to the snake's fatal bites. Voldemort orchestrates this to become the true master of the Elder Wand, believing Snape, as Dumbledore's killer, held sway over it, and he wanted to bypass any potential wand allegiance issues by having Nagini do the killing, not a spell.

Snape's invention of the Laceration Curse was not likely a secret, as Remus Lupin was able to recognise it during the Battle of the Seven Potters. In the films, Sectumsempra appears as a small flash of white light launched forward like many spells, which causes a cut when it strikes the target.

Is sectumsempra an unforgivable curse?

No, Sectumsempra is not officially an Unforgivable Curse, though it's a very dangerous Dark Arts spell that causes deep, bleeding wounds, similar in effect to torture or maiming, but it has a known counter-curse, Vulnera Sanentur, and can be blocked, unlike the Unforgivables (Avada Kedavra, Crucio, Imperio) which are defined by their absolute, unblockable, and often irreversible effects on life, pain, or free will. Its non-Unforgivable status also stems from being invented by Snape and relatively unknown, but if widely known and used, it could arguably fit the criteria for being treated similarly.

Why did Nagini turn evil?

Nagini became "evil" or aligned with Voldemort due to a combination of her traumatic life as a Maledictus (a woman with a blood curse turning her into a snake), loneliness after losing her love Credence Barebone, and Voldemort's manipulative promises to help her or offer companionship, eventually leading him to make her a Horcrux, binding her soul to his dark magic and intensifying her venomous nature and loyalty to him. She wasn't inherently evil but became a dark servant through desperation and Voldemort's soul fragment infecting her, as shown in the Fantastic Beasts series.
