The person floating above the table in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, being executed by Voldemort, was Professor Charity Burbage, the Muggle Studies teacher at Hogwarts, who was killed for defending Muggles and Muggleborns. She was suspended helplessly over the dinner table at Malfoy Manor during a Death Eater meeting, begging Snape for help before Voldemort struck her with the Killing Curse and fed her body to Nagini, as shown in both the book and the first part of the movie.
Charity Burbage, the Hogwarts Professor of Muggle Studies, stood as a beacon of hope and understanding during some of the darkest times in wizarding history. Her story is not just about her tragic end but also about her unwavering belief that wizards and Muggles could coexist peacefully.
Charity Burbage seemed to be a kind person who had been friends with many other professors, such as Severus Snape. She held very strong and passionate views in favour of the rights of Muggles and Muggle-borns.
Professor Burbage affronts Voldemort and his Death Eaters by teaching that Muggles are not so different from wizards, and by daring to publish "an impassioned defence of Mudbloods" in the Daily Prophet. As a result, she is kidnapped by Death Eaters and summarily executed by Voldemort.
When Dumbledore asked him how many people he had watched die Snape replied, “lately only those I couldn't save.” He can't save the world, which is unfortunate for Charity, but saving her would have led to many more people dying. Such is war; people die both guilty and inn…
There's no single "saddest" death, as fans cite different characters, but Dobby, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Snape are consistently named among the most heartbreaking due to their profound loyalty, tragic lives, or sudden, impactful losses, with Dobby's selfless sacrifice often topping lists for his pure heart and newfound freedom, and Fred's death devastating his twin George and family, notes Quora and Facebook users https://www.facebook.com/groups/309399756202202/posts/2389613828180774, and Reddit.
Connection with Voldemort: Being one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Nagini had a strong telepathic bond with her master and was capable of speaking to him over long distances. Voldemort could also possess Nagini at some circumstances.
Voldemort found Nagini in Albania after his initial defeat, likely while he was a weak spirit possessing snakes; she was a unique, powerful snake, possibly a Maledictus (a witch with a blood curse turning her into a beast), making her an ideal companion, and he eventually made her his final Horcrux by murdering Bertha Jorkins with her present. Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
remember my last, petunia. " Dumbledore is referring to his last letter, which means, of course, the letter he left upon the Dursleys' doorstep when Harry was one year old.
He trusted snape because snape had proven himself many times before. Voldemort took anyone that was magical and had his own ideas in common during his first crusade.
Despite Snape killing Dumbledore, it is learned that they had a special agreement for him to do so. When he died, it was revealed that his deep strong love for Lily Evans caused him to redeem himself, joining Dumbledore's cause for her protection (and, after her death, that of her son) from Lord Voldemort.
Page 394 in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban refers to Professor Snape telling the class to turn to that page in their Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) textbook, which is about werewolves, a deliberate hint that the substitute teacher, Professor Lupin, is one himself, a secret Snape was trying to expose. While the specific text varies slightly by edition, it introduces the topic of werewolves as nocturnal beasts, contrasting with the Red Caps and Hinky-Punks they were learning about, to reveal Lupin's true nature.
While giving his tears was an impulsive act, it also symbolized his loyalty and dedication to Lily Potter's memory and Dumbledore's plan. Snape knew he would not survive and that Harry needed to know the truth before confronting his fate in the Forbidden Forest.
Hufflepuff is often considered the worst house at Hogwarts because it hasn't contributed as much to magic as other houses, except for a few exceptions like Newt Scamander. Hufflepuffs are known for their hard work but it rarely leads to major magical discoveries.
She was sorted into Slytherin House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and hated her time at the school due to never being given any positions of power.

He was bitten by Lord Voldemort's snake, Nagini. He was grievously injured and sent to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
By saying "Severus... please" Dumbledore was able to subtly signal to Snape that he was ready. Also, you have to remember that Snape was feeling slightly apprehensive about killing Dumbledore. So in a way, Dumbledore was actually pleading with Snape, only it was for the total opposite reason the Death Eaters though.
A squib is defined as a person born into a wizard family but who doesn't have any magical powers. So Petunia is just a Muggle since both her parents were Muggles.
They quickly became friends, sharing common interests such as the quest for the Deathly Hallows and ideas about a wizard-led society. Their relationship eventually evolved beyond friendship, with Dumbledore falling in love with Grindelwald.
Most likely Voldemort's closest companion, Nagini was a Maledictus who had once been a human woman but due to this blood curse was now permanently a snake – losing all sense of humanity.
Nagini has venom, which was mixed with Unicorn blood and drank regularly by baby-Voldemort to keep him alive in that body.
Voldemort split his soul into 8 pieces. 7 Horcuxes: 1) The Diary, 2) The Ring, 3) The Cup, 4) The Locket, 5) The Diadem, 6) Nagini these are the true Horcruxes and 7) Harry Potter an unintended Horcrux. The Philosopher Stone just houses a part of Voldemort so it doesn't count as a Horcrux.
🤯🐍 Nagini, Voldemort's deadly snake and Horcrux, was not always a snake. J.K. Rowling revealed that she was a Maledictus, a woman cursed with a rare blood curse. This curse is passed from mother to daughter and slowly forces the carrier to permanently transform into a beast.
