It's not "Nagini's Bane", is "NAGINI'S BANE", which basically means 
it's an acronym. Checking the Inish Alley (in the HP4GU Database), you 
can see it means "Neville And Ginny's Increadible Native Intelligence 
Simmers Behind A Naive Exterior" (a theory that says that both Ginny 
and Neville are powerful wizards, even if they don't look like it)

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf
