Sonja:
This has been discussed but since I did some research on the type of snake Nagini could be, I am happy to answer.

Harry set free a boa constrictor.  That species does not have fangs or venom.  Nagini is a viper, and based on the description (diamond pattern and about twelve feet long) is probably a type of King Cobra.  According to my sources that species is the longest known viper

Or she could just be a magical snake, but definitely not the one Harry set free.
