2.) I did some research on the country, and apparently,
Albanians, at least very old and local Albanians, are part
of The Cult of the Snake. They believe that snakes are
protectors, and that if you hang a dead one above your
door, evil will not come into your house. There are even
some festivals honoring them. Maybe JKR knows a little more
about this than I do, but maybe Nagini is a leader type
thing of these people. Maybe they also picked Albania to
hide out, because if people there worshiped the snakes, if
they saw Nagini slithering around, the might think it was a
miracle rather than a curse.


now me:

I always wondered why JKR chose Albania as well.  The thing
is, I am Albanian and I have never heard of this idea that
you posted.  I would appreciate a Point Me, if you could
provide a link? Thanks a lot, hope you like the list so
far.
