In Chapter 1 of GoF, Voldemort and Wormtail discuss "milking" Nagini. My question here is, would they be referring to milking the venom in the fangs of the snake? So, my thoughts/questions are:
(a) IF Wormtail is "milking" venom from Nagini's fangs to sustain Voldemort's life, doesn't that indicate that snake venom might have been ONE of the ways Voldemort managed to survive the rebounded AK curse? Perhaps there was some potion or precautions he took using snake venom that helped him to survive. And .....
(b) Because Voldemort is surviving on snake venom prior to regaining a body, is THAT why he appears to be so "snake-like" once he is "reborn"? Is it the lasting venom running through his veins that continue to make him so serpentine and, if so - and the snake venom IS the reason he survived the AK the first time around (as asked in my [a] question above) - then wouldn't AK not completely kill him THIS time around either??
Sorry if these thoughts/questions are too confusing as it is hard to write precisely what I'm trying to say/ask.
Thanks (in advance) to any who can offer their opinions on this.
