I'm not sure I agree with this -- My theory is that LV's snakelike
appearence comes from his use of Nagini's venom as a "dietary
supplement" (so to speak) to the Horcruxes -- possibly to better
preserve his physical body from destruction.

I agree with you here.  Do we know that LV *knows* that he knows
only part of the prophecy?  Do the DE's in the DoM ever say as much?

That might be true whether Horcrux 5 is Nagini or something else --
I'm still partial to the idea that he's still shooting for four
Horcruxes for four Hogwarts founders.
