around as Harry's arm would be at that age, or bigger.  So why did it 
break off?

Hello all, Fred Waldrop here;
I may be wrong, but IMO, I think the fangs of the Basilisk works like 
the sting of a honeybee, once in the skin, they stay in place to 
continue pumping poison into the person attacked.
