Don't you think the majority English Tory voters (as the polls show) would be well peed off having a Labour minority government foisted upon them by the SNP?

Wales will return some Labour MPs as well. However this is the way our system works. Scotland get representation as well and, let's not kid ourselves, those seats would largely be going to Labour if they weren't going to the SNP.
The SNP isn't the reason the Tories stand to lose. It's the fact the Tories are weaker in England than they should be in order to win an election as well as their historical weaknesses in Wales & Scotland meaning they depend on running up the score in England.
You say the English Tory voters are in the majority but it's a very small majority and they're trounced by the left-wing regions.
