Buffing and Armoring Snow Golems

Adding the ability to put armor on snow golems would be simple and balanced way to fix this. Even just putting a leather cap on it to stop it from burning would be fine. I'd like to make an allusion from Plants Vs. Zombies where the kernal-pult rarely fires a high damaging butter that stops enemies, but it fires low damage corn kernals the rest of the time. Maybe the snow golem could occasionally throw a bigger snowball that does some damage. They are very weak, and should have more self-defense and offense.
