Why is the snake a symbol for both evil and Divinity in different cultures? HD

Both Christianity and Hinduism use the snake in its religious symbolism, but they use it in very different ways. In Christianity, the snake is considered evil - the tempter of Adam and Eve. In Hinduism, it is considered as a part of the spiritual awakening process within the body - the Kundalini. How have these two different explanations come about? Sri Swami Vishwananda describes their meanings, and the source of their use.
