Drat!  OK.  How about this?  Does the diamond pattern on Nagini's 
tail tell us what kind of snake Nagini is?  Are there 12-foot long 
venomous snakes?  Are Boas long enough to wrap around a car twice?  

I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I thought that Wormtail was 
actually extracting nice, white milk from Nagini.  So that means 
Voldemort survived by drinking unicorn blood and snake venom, which 
means he is even tougher than I thought.
