I wonder if the poor girl was eating cannabis cookies and seeing things. There was no Alfred but she was getting the munchies after a dose of cannabis and her mind kind of warped it to be a friend she needed to feed. She thought herself invisible, so she invented an equally invisible friend. Then her parents found out she was getting away in the woods to eat "extra" food, got angry and basically starved her to death. The last entries are probably not much of a help, she most likely was delusional from hunger and, knowing she was dying, she hallucinated herself being buried where she had her "safe place".

Writing in the third person could be from depersonalisation, either drugs or just from the dire condition she was in. Maybe you should ask the school stuff if she was ever talking about herself in the third person? Or maybe all of it was written in her last day when she was so bad she didn't see herself as herself...

Following on from your theory I wonder if it's possible it was her hand her dad cut off and she died from blood loss/sepsis. An old punishment for stealing was cutting off the hand...

I see it more like Albert as a human, the snake a metaphor for how evil he is, just a thought though.

I like snakes, so I can't bring myself to see a snake as evil :)
