Indeed, we do not know, what kind of snake nagini is. I think, nagini MUST
be a magical creature. And - as it already was stated some weeks ago -
"Nagini" is the name of a kind of Snake-Goddess! So in my opinion it *could*
be possible, if Nagini *was* able to bite Arthur more like a dog rather than
a snake. And perhaps she *has* not only two fangs. Only JKR knows. ;-) Think
of the other creatures she made up! IMO this woman has a really brilliant
imagination.

Silvana:
If the moon rises at sunset it is purely by chance!
I agree with Pippin.
Technically the Full Moon does not need to be full at moonrise [although it
might already occour (to our eyes) to be].
You can determine the exactly minute of the Full Moon astronomically.
For example:
I live in Germany and Luna will happen to be full next time on Thursday,
2005-02-24 at 05:52 am.
BUT she rises on Wednesday, 2005-02-23 at 04:58 pm and sets on Thursday,
2005-02-24 at 07:15 am.
So she has plenty of time "pretending" to be full... I think, this actually
*is*, what happened in POA.
