Laurawkids:

This is just a little item, but I feel that Frank can be called
important to LV.  Frank was the caretaker for the Riddle family way
back, and has shown great devotion to the family by continuing to
keep the house.  Killing Frank is akin to killing their house elf.

Laurawkids:

I think I remember that JK expressed dismay that the snake set loose
on Dudley was not a poisonous one.   I took that to *imply* that
*maybe* Nagini was that original snake.

Except for the fact that Nagini does not kill people by looking at
them, I had hoped there was some way she could be a young Basilisk.

Maybe LV is becoming more snakelike because he goes to bed every
night with a toad on his egg-transfigured head  :  )  !
