This  somewhat goes against known Snake Lore. Snake never
try to eat anything  they can't swallow in one gulp. They
usually swallow a mouse or a frog  whole, and slink of 
under a bush for a nap while the food digests.  
I simply don't see Nagini, no matter how big she is,
swallowing  a whole person. By extension, that implies
that she is biting off chunks  and eating them the way
a wolf or lion would. I think that is unusual.  


*****************
 
Well depends on the size of the snake and the size of the person.   Both 
Anacondas and Reticulated Pythons have been documented taking down and  swallowing 
adult deer.  Snakes don't have the physical ability to "bite off  chunks" 
(wrong type of teeth) however their jaws unhinge and can swing open  a full 180 
degrees so its not an impossibility that she could have swallowed  Charity if 
she were a petite person. 
 
And to put this slightly back on topic.  I'd bet on Nagini being  a python.
