It looks like nagini is more specific than I thought. She is a female
serpent in the Indian tradition. Here is one artistic rendering:

Here are a few more:

"Snakes are a symbol of healing and primal energy. In art, the Naginis
are figures of beauty. Vishnu reclines on the serpent Ananta
eternally. In Kerala, snakes are worshipped as guardians of the home;
and it is said that when a snake enters your life, there will be a new
birth of creativity and wisdom."
I wonder, just how evil can Nagini be? Maybe there is more to her than
even VOldemort knows?
