[the_old_crowd] How to Reassemble using Horuscruxes

[Constance Vigilance]

Troels and elfundeb are discussing Nagini as a horsecrutch:


Elfundeb: Of all Dumbledore's speculation about the remaining Horsecrutches, Nagini was the one that didn't seem to fit with Riddle's modus operandi.

Troels: I agree that it didn't sound quite as convincing as it might have been, but I am strongly unwilling to disregard any statement of fact by Dumbledore. <snip>

Elfundeb:It's not a Founder's relic, and it's not associated with Hogwarts or his family except for a general connection to Slytherin House and Parseltongue.  But he already had a Slytherin relic (the ring) and a testament to his Parseltongue ability (the diary).

Troels: It was also with the help of Nagini that he was able to get that rudimentary body, and it was possibly symbolic of his re-embodiment. If we want to challenge the Nagini theory, I would rather say that Frank Bryce is the weakest part -- the first murder he committed after beginning to gain 
strength again was of Bertha Jorkins, and I would agree that her death would have been significant for him (again as a sign of Voldemort rising back to power), but Frank Bryce's death seemed far more incidental. <snip>

Now CV:

My problem with Nagini as a Chexmix is that she seems so, well, MORTAL. Unlike the basilisk, it would seem she is subject to real snakeyears. What happens to a soul slice when its host slithers off this mortal coil? Can the slice be recovered and put somewhere else? Or does the slice stay in the corpse? Problems, problems.

I don't doubt Dumbledore's sincerity - I think he does believe that Nagini is a candidate for horse host. I think he is simply wrong.
