possession of Nagini (if it was indeed she) at the time of the 
attack on Arthur, and whether he caused her pain or injury at the 
time.  I can't imagine him wanting to do that to Nagini, because 
at the very least he risks losing her trust.  Does he actually have 
the ability to possess "gently" but is never interested in doing so 
except for Nagini?<<

Or maybe there's something special about Nagini herself? I'm 
thinking of the Black Riders' steeds in LOTR, able to endure their 
undead riders though all other animals panic in their presence.

Ginny has no memory of her blacked out periods, so she may 
have experienced pain that she doesn't remember. In fact Riddle 
says that when he made her go down to the Chamber, she 
"struggled and cried."
