Brothergib:
How many Horcruxes do we think LV has made when he appears at 
Hogwarts to request a job. The diary. The ring. The locket. The cup.
The evidence certainly suggests that these Horcruxes were probably 
made by this point. And yet LV does not resemble a snake at all. 
However, he is snakelike on the back of Quirrel. Is it because he has 
merged his soul with Nagini? Even though he has removed part of his 
soul and placed it in Nagini, it is still a part of HIM! The fact 
that it does not appeat that anyone has ever tried to make a Horcrux 
from a living object, might explain why LV takes on some of the 
attributes of Nagini.

Why would it be that his loss of humanity after creating 3-4 
horcruxes does not make him snake like, but after 4-5 it might??
