Alla:

Well, yes of course she does not eat his whole body. I did not even 
know that I had to say that, it is way obvious I think. I just like 
the expression after I read it somewhere. She tastes him, is that 
better?

Although actually come to think of it, we do not know if she eats 
him or not, because Snape's body is left in the Shack and for all I 
know she may have come back and eat him whole, although this is a 
total speculation and not in the books of course.

Alla:

And that was my point, how to make it easy on the eyes, which I 
agree most likely will be shown, although if we think of the huge 
IMO amount of the important scenes that were omitted, I am not so 
sure that the picture of Nagini striking will be there necessarily 
IMO.


Carol:
And snape, as I
> said, has to have that last interaction with Harry after Nagini 
leaves.

Alla:

Sure, unless they decide to cut it out, but if they do not, I think 
it is totally Okay for example if Trio comes upon Snape already 
bleeding and then he gives the memories. Not that I care one way or 
another, I mean, I do in a sense that I am easily scared LOL, but I 
can close my eyes if I wish.


My question was how they can show it to make it easier for those who 
are easily scared and actually I think Pippin's answer is very 
possible. If they show it as a shadow, I will be very happy and vou 
la then Snape can have his last interaction with  Harry.

Alla:

And you are most likely right, but I am not sure at all that bite 
will be shown in all its glory necessarily.
