I've been hunting around for information on Nagini.

Perhaps some of you know this already, but I found it interesting. Nagini
are the female representations of the serpent god, worshipped across
India as it is thought to protect against evil. (The male forms are
called Nagas).

Nagini usually take the form of a woman with a snake's head or body, but
certainly a hybrid creature. I'm not sure what this means in relation
to the Nagini in GoF. Is she just a snake? Is she an animagus? If she
protects against evil how does that tie in with Voldemort?

Oh well. Perhaps it's just a name JKR chose because of the serpent
connection.
