Screwtape isn't actually supposed to represent Satan, he's just a fictional "very experienced devil" In the preface to my edition, Lewis explains that he just tried to think of names that sounded nasty. He says "I fancy that Scrooge, screw, thumbscrew, tapeworm, and red tape all do some work" in the name Screwtape.
