http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Nagini
■There was a rumour that Nagini was the snake Harry released from the zoo in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This was proven false, as Nagini is some type of viper while the snake in the zoo was a boa constrictor. Furthermore, the snake was given a male voice in the film, while Nagini is female. I don't know why I jumped to the conclusion that it was the same snake in GoF. I guess I was only 14 back then. -- http://img.imgcake.com/fitgirljpgta.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh right thinking about it, Voldemort had his horcruxes all set up before his encounter with James and Lily, right? So Nagini should have already been a horcrux before the first book. Or was she a last edition that Voldemort made after he returned?

I have a different question then? We know (sorta) how Priori Incantatum works, and we know it does not just show kills, but all spells performed *(hence the Silver hand that appeared) so why was there not some weird thing (could even be a slight speck of light) between Bryce and Bertha in the graveyard? It could have led to 5 years of speculation for what it was too? Just seems weird we did not see anything.

It's possible that Horcrux creation doesn't use a wand I guess? We're basically at the point here where we're discussing the stuff JK didn't really think about, so it's hard to come up with any diffinitive answer. There's also some speculation on whether or not Quirrel was a Horcrux, since what happened there was definitely not just possession. But at that point you talk about Voldemort having 8 Horcruxes, (although only 7 at any one time) and you get some iffyness regarding there being a set number of times you can split your soul.
Well, actually that's not true. JK apparently does know what the creation of a Horcrux involves and it does involve a spell. It'll be in the Harry Potter Encyclopedia whenever that inevitably sees air. -- *shrug* ... Copied to Clipboard!

So wait. Voldemort intended to split himself into six horcruxes + himself, but inadvertantly split into seven + himself? And for all of book 7 both Harry and Voldy think there are a grand total of six horcruxes when there are seven, right? I could've sworn that some variation of the phrase "we must destroy the seven horcruxes" was used quite a few times throughout the book.
Or wait, maybe Harry and the gang just went into the final battle not knowing where/what the final horcrux was? But why did they even know there were seven when Voldy only thought there were six? Did Dumbledore just troll Harry? "Oh yeah, he totally would intentionally 100% create seven horcruxes because seven is a powerful magic number for some reason. Disregard the fact that he'd actually be splitting himself into eight pieces, you're just not as smart as I am." Man, it's a shame all the plot mechanics of the seventh book are so dumb.

Wait so... Dumbledore knew that Harry was the final Horcrux. Which means he knew there were seven, and he passed that onto Harry. So Harry knew there were seven, but he didn't know he was one of them... I guess. While Voldemort only thought there were six without knowing Harry was the seventh.

From: DeathChicken | #036 Oh, that's right. Man, it's extremely fortunate that Harry managed to stumble across Snape just before his death, then. If he hadn't done that, he never would've learned he was the seventh horcrux.He'd defeat Voldemort because of dumb elder wand mechanics, but Voldemort would just come back again and Harry would have no idea why. As he breaks the elder wand shortly after, he'd no longer have dumb elder wand mechanics to hide behind, and Voldy may even realize what his seventh horcrux is and not kill Harry. Just imprison him for the rest of his life while Voldemort goes on to take over the world.

No it wasn't "luck" that Harry stumbled upon Snape. In fact it was unlucky that it had to happen that way.

See, if there was any part of what happened to Harry/Voldemort in the final battle that was actually planned by Harry before hand, I'd be totally ok with luck being a factor in his victory. But he went into that final battle without a single clue what he was going to do. He didn't know he had ownership of the elder wand, he lucked into it without even being aware of the fact. He didn't know there was a seventh horcrux, he lucked into that information. He didn't know he'd survive his pseudo-sacrifice to Voldemort, he got lucky there too.
Yeah, I know Harry admits in the fifth book that he simply gets lucky a lot. It really would've been quite nice if sometime after that he could've grown into a capable wizard and/or a savvy thinker, too. Wouldn't you find the ending a lot more satisfying if he gained ownership of the elder wand through intentional means? Or if, through exploring his peculiar psychic relationship with Voldemort, he came to understand what it truly meant?

He knew once he had it, and even then only towards the very end. He had no idea what he was doing when he took ownership of it, that he did so was completely coincidental. If Hermione had shoved Malfoy and took his wand instead of Harry, she would've been the owner. If no one had taken Malfoy's wand, they would've been SOL.

Regardless that's not who Harry Potter is. Throughout the whole series he was just a regular guy who was cast into his role through circumstances that were out of his control. Therefore luck played heavily on his accomplishments and progress. That was the whole point. He never wanted to be who he was, he never planned, he wasn't an all powerful wizard. He was just Harry Potter. He was cast into his role and he faced it head on with a lot of courage while everyone else either told him what to do or guided him in some way (Dumbledore for the most part).
