As I said in another post, the basilisk is dead and another one would
be hard to come by, but maybe the snake is Voldemort himself
transformed? In his dream, Harry is in the snake's mind, which makes
sense to me only if the snake *is* Voldemort. That would account for
its size, its power, its intelligence. It would also be consistent
with the transformations that Voldemort underwent between 1945 and
1970 that resulted in his present snakelike appearance. Yet another
unregistered animagus, but Voldemort has broken every other law of the
WW. Why not that one as well?
