I used to believe it was the body flushing out the germs, along with coughing and sneezing.
But some doctor on the radio said the common cold was virtually a parasite: it triggers the human immune response system exquisitely: to get the immune system to propagate the virus by leaving it lying around, by dripping it into water courses, by passing it by hand contact, by passing it by aerosol.
He said it has evolved perfectly: it does not kill nor stay the same long enough for a human to develop an immunity.
But, said doctor also said that was why it is a good idea to buy cold suppressants to inhibit the symptoms. He went on about that for so long that it was clear he was in the pay of the drugs companies to promote their products.

Snot does have a few uses.
It come in useful during hand to hand combat, usually outside pubs, where you can beat the snot out of your opponent.
It comes in useful for sex as well. The female mucous membrane, in the f@nny area, produces chuff snot, which is a useful lubricant commonly known as f@nny-batter.
This led me to write a poem for CUK which I will reproduce here
If you have a honey
and her chuff is runny
dont think it's yummy
'cause it's not
