In Essence Divided

I have been rereading OotP and I found something quite interesting as
I read the part about Harry's vision of Arthur Weasley being attacked.
Dumbledore brought out an instrument which made a smoky snake shape of
some sort, and he found that obvious, and he asks, "but in essence
divided?" 

Now I haven't reached the end of OotP and I did not pay much attention
to this bit before, but I am highly interested in what this means. 

First off, I agree with many of the members about there being enough
animagi, but, how could Harry be in the snake if he is reading
Voldie's mind? Perhaps Voldie was Imperiusing Nagini or something I
don't know.

Also, the snake that bit Arthur had venom that would not let his
wounds heal. I lost my "Fantastic Beasts..." book, so if anyone knows
of a snake like beast that has this curious venom, please let me know.

I also had a thought, yes its as farfetched as my others, but I
remembered some of the recent posts about Voldie being possessed by
some sort of being, and as I read the part about the snake, it got me
to thinking that there might be a snakelike being that was able to
possess humans. I know that it is probably a long shot, but as I think
about it more and more, there are things in the series that seems to
make sense of this theory, as well as one old wives tale if you will.
1. Snakes have been thought to have a hypnotic stare in many tales of old.

2. Snakes in this series are quite important.

3. The death eaters' symbol is a skull with a snake coming out of the
mouth, perhaps meaning that the snake is "in there head ( this is not
literal, I mean perhaps controlling them or the spirit of one is
residing in the head etc) 

4. Parseltongue is thought of as an evil ability.

5. Voldie has Nagini at his side constantly, and she was milked to
help Voldie thrive.

6. The Basilisk was the beast in the chamber of secrets.

etc...

So if this is anywhere near true, then perhaps Voldie could be
exorcised in a way and that might actually kill Voldie without having
to murder Tom Riddle.

Any thoughts, help, or constructive criticism would be much appreciated :)

Also, the part about "in essence divided, well that part makes me
think that the possession of this snake like being of Voldie was
divided when he tried to AK Harry and Harry inherited that part as
well, though it probably was not awakened until Voldie was reborn.
Harry is a bit meaner and angrier in Book 5, though considering his
age and what he has been through, that's not saying much. I just think
that perhaps he has a stronger moral fiber than Voldie and won't give
in to that type of thing, plus he was not directly possessed by the
being in question. Perhaps Voldie was not forcefully possessed by this
being but maybe gave into it as he thought that this could mean
immortality.

before she forgot them by morning.
