Valky:
Do you recall if there is any more info from HRH on what exactly 
Hermione writes in her essay?
This is possibly a clue to the species identification of Nagini. 
that's what I would guess, and I would say also that Fawkes and 
Nagini are representations of something larger in the book theme so 
it would be valuable to find out more about Nagini.
