Potioncat:
Except, he didn't die by poison, he bled to death. Nagini's venom 
seems to prevent the wound from closing, rather than otherwise 
harming the victim. 

But, I suppose Snape could have had an antidote at the ready. Too bad 
he was too busy donating memories to use it.

BTW, how did Malfoy, Snape and LV get into the Shack? They didn't 
seem to be using the passage from the willow.
