Carol responds (belatedly, sorry!):
A minor point: Nagini doesn't eat Snape; she leaves with Voldemort,
still in her bubble. It would be impossible for him to give Harry
those crucial memories if he'd been eaten (or AK'd, for that matter).
So I think she'll strike once, drawing enough bolld for him to bleed
to death (though the audience may think it's the venom that kills
him). It doesn't have to be graphic, just effective. And snape, as I
said, has to have that last interaction with Harry after Nagini leaves.

I can't imagine them not showing Snape's death scene, which is crucial
to the plot. (It provides Harry's cue to sacrifice himself rather than
trying to kill Voldemort. And we know that Harry gets his death scene!
also, the Pensieve scene afterwards is important as a means of tying
up certain plot points--and revealing puppetmaster Dumbledore.)

The only character in DH whom we know for sure is eaten by Nagini is
Charity Burbage, and that will surely be off-screen, just as it was
off-page in the book.

Now Bathilda!Nagini will be pretty scary/icky if they leave it in
(Harry is also bitten), but that's a bit differeent since the scare is
from her transformation rather than from the blood.

Carol, who, of course, is *not* happy that Snape died but is glad that
Harry finally understood and forgave him, better late than never
