charme:

Forgive me, however I do need to ask this question:  is everyone theorizing
Nagini was the snake that bit Authur Weasley in the DoM? I'm confused, since
in that same scene the bites are described as follows:

"He reared high from the floor and struck once, twice, three times..." (I
have a US Scholastic edition of OoP)

Maybe it's coincidence, but wouldn't the "three bites" possibly mean a
Runespoor (Fantastic Beasts) instead?  Or is there canon I missed which says
Nagini did it?

Help me here...
