Neri again:
Just to clarify my meaning, I didn't say Nagini doesn't see in infra
red. It certainly seems likely from the description (although the last
time I looked into a military IR device the view was in black and
white, but admittedly it was more than ten years ago). We also don't
know if invisibility cloaks block IR frequencies or not. All I say is
that we don't have canon here that Nagini sees through Invisibility
cloaks. Had JKR wanted to imply it she would have written the cloak
falling from Arthur's body, not his legs.
