Even though Napoleon was by far the bigger dictator in the novella (and in history- Stalin-) Snowball shared some of these qualities as well. This can be seen when the milk and apples go missing, and then it is found out the pigs are using it for themselves and not sharing it. Snowball is a pig and is therefore aware of this as the pigs are supposed to be intelligent and so he must of known what was going on and that the pigs took it not for their health like they had suggested but for their own selfish needs and so shares Napoleons and the rest of the pigs self interest and greed (but seems to have less of it)

Overall comparison

even though they share both similarities and differences they seem to be more different than alike due to their character qualities- however this may be due to Snowballs short lived time on the farm as there is no way of knowing if he would become exactly as greedy and horrible as Napoleon if was not chased away as though he seems like the ideal leader for Animal Farm, Orwell's message that Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely hints that regardless of who the leader of Animal Farm would be, the revolution was doomed to fail from the beginning.Source(s)
