Snip from bboy_mn:

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

...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?

Me:

I love you all, but there is a reason that we are HP for GROWNUPS. For all of you that know anything about snakes, they can see infra-red on the light spectrum. I would assume that the cloak would have to make all things invisible to the naked eye, but there is still the matter of the heat that any of the invisible people are giving off. I would think that the larger the snake, the more developed his heat seeking capabilities. I would assume JKR would be using a snake that would even be able to detect invisible people. Perhaps moody's eye can see the full spectrum from ultraviolet to infra-red as well.
