I've always wondered if LV was literally threatening to feed Peter and 
Harry to Nagini or if this was meant to unnerve them with an image 
that was horrific, even if impossible. I'm never sure just how big 
Nagini is supposed to be.

In general (and although I'm not an expert and I may be getting the 
terminology wrong) many snakes are capable of swallowing and eating 
animals which are relatively large as compared to the snake.  They 
expand their jaws which have special joints to allow this, swallow 
their prey whole, and then digest.
