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?
