Great Merlin's ghost! He exclaims. There is a rumor that Harry is
going to get a new PET! Could it be??? Could the Boa Constrictor come
to Harry's aid and ask Harry to keep him out of the nasty English
winter cold? It's a possibility.

bboy_mn:
Flesh of a sevant reluctantly given? Flesh of a servant coercively
given? Flesh of a sevant fearfully given? Oh yeah, I think Voldie has
a problem here. 

The spider venom is a tuff call because, you remember, that Voldie was
kept alive by Unicorn blood mixed with snake venom. That may or may
not be a problem, while they are both venom, evey venom has different
characteristics. My brother-in-law is a herpetologist (into snakes and
reptiles. He has posionous snakes and aligator at home.) has debunked
a lot of venom myths for me. Like getting bit several times doesn't
cause you to build up an immunity or resistance; just the opposite, it
builds a sensitivity. Anti-venom is very very specific to each type of
venom. Venomous bites are nasty; localized tissue starts dying within
minutes. So, the spider venom is a loose cannon. It could be nothing,
or it could be very significant.

I hate to bring up 'The Gleam' again, but I think Dumbledore sees a
potential flaw in Voldie's plan, but working that flaw to his
advantage is not going to be easy. 

Just a few thoughts.
