I have spent the whole morning catching up on the posts and nowhere can
I see mentioned Nagini's ability to see through the cloak.
In Godric's Hollow, Nagini (as Bathilda) was able to see, recognise and
beckon Harry to come into the house, despite the fact he and Hermione
were under the cloak AND disguised as a middle-aged couple. In the
Shrieking Shack during the Voldemort/Snape showdown she is shown is
floating around in the bubble whilst Snape repeatedly asks Voldy
to 'let me bring you the boy'. Why would Nagini not have spotted Harry
hiding under the cloak and told Voldy of this? Would have spared an
awful lot of time and magical effort in destroying the Hogwarts castle
to root him out.
Forgive me if I am remembering inaccurately (I don't have the book to
hand and have only read it the once). I'd be interested to hear your
views.
