Carol responds:
She was in the bubble, remember? Voldemort was keeping her beside him
for protection. He only lets her out after Harry has been "killed," at
which point, he releases her and puts her around his shoulders (DH Am.
ed. 729). Voldemort proclaims himself the victor and tells his lie
about Harry's cowardly death. Almost immediately, Neville charges
forward and is Disarmed, LV summons the Sorting Hat and sets it on
fire, and everyone from Centaurs to Grawp comes charging forward.
Neville breaks free of the Body Bind curse and kills Nagini. It's not
clear whether she's still around Voldemort's shoulders or beside him,
but she hasn't gone anywhere. So, nope. She doesn't eat Snape or
anybody on the day of the Battle of Hogwarts. <snip>

Carol, hoping that Snape got a well-deserved hero's funeral as
headmaster of Hogwarts and that Lupin, Tonks, and Fred had moving
private funerals even though we didn't see any of them on page
