Ever since the 1.9 Prelease along with snow golem, I've been wondering. Snow golems do give you a slight protection. Their snowballs don't really do anything besides push mobs. And they always seem to easily die in just 2 hits. So, if Notch adds customizable golems this would enhance the protection of you.
Wolves have always been great guards but it just doesn't make sense if you add weapons to them. Snow golems should be able to be customized by right clicking on them and a GUI will pop up. You can drag any weapon or armor you have to the snow golems inventory. So if you add a diamond armor to your golem and a bow it will increase their lives and they'll be able to shoot from far range and actually damage mobs.
So, if you believe this makes you character TOO protected then that is why snow golems melt. If your in a desert biome, at night, and well protected by your trusted guards. You just keep on walking straight and shooting at every monsters you see so the snow golems do the work. Then, you turn around and see nothing. You follow your trail and all you see are all your items you added to your snow golems inventory.
So Notch making snow golems to be able to melt, really gives a balance to too much protection and not too much. Also, some people have released mods that are somehow related to this. But snow golems...really. Snow golems are just beast. If Notch were to add this in like any version, that specific version would me my MOST favorite.
sounds good, but would that make a player TOO safe?
i have to admit though, making an arena with "upgraded" snow golems in it and then using a mod to spawn in mobs would be entertaining for awhile. maybe you could set the snow golems against the player and make a survival death-match kinda thing. i could see this being used creatively in adventure maps...

Now, discuss.
there is already a friend mod where a AI walks with you, he can defend, attack, stay, follow, he(or she) also has a GUI. no link but the YOGSCAST did a video on it. its called Simon Plays With Himself(the video is better than what the title makes you think of) there is a link the the descrition on the youtubes

But what really should happen is the idea of creating "mannequins" and bring ing them to life.

It would. But that's why snow golems melt.
