The Cloak and the Snake.

Did anyone else happen to notice that the snake that attacked Mr.
Weasley could see through the invisibility cloak?

---OoP Am Ed HB Pgs 462 - 463---
(as seen through the eyes of the snake and Harry's eyes)

...a man was sitting on the floor ahead, ... his outline gleaming in
the dark....

...sitting in front of a door at the end of the corridor....

But the man was stirring ...A SILVERY CLOAK fell from his legs as he
jumped to his feet;...
---end quote---

The snake saw Mr. Weasley before the 'silvery cloak' fell off.

I wonder if this ability to see is unique to snakes, unique to that
particular snake, or if other animals like Mrs. Norris, as Harry has
often suspected, can also see through the cloak?

And the next  question is, is that significant, an important piece of
information that we will need in the future or just a curious bit of
trivia?

Just curious.
