Caesian:
A little something that might be a clue for later.  When Mr. Weasley is 
attacked, an antidote is eventually found for the snake venom in his 
wounds.  This was evidently something of a challenge for the healer.  
There is no reason to conclude that the snake that bit Arthur Weasley 
was any particular snake we know, or even was a real snake.  But, since 
we already know one big poisonous snake by name, it /might/ have been 
that travesty-on-a-hearth-rug, Nagini.

IF it was Nagini (which means there is now an antidote available to 
Nagini Venom), THEN an antidote is available to one of the critical 
ingredients in Voldemort's resurrection.  For what that might be 
worth...

Thing that make you go hmmm.
