The snake bit was pretty nift. I like how Professor Brutka explains things. I'd never thought about how a snake isn't really made to be a familiar, like how it isn't its natural state, and what you have to do so you can control it.
But I did know that snake familiars can be used for some really ace stuff.
Salazar Slytherin came up with hexes and things that you can only do properly when you have a snake wrapped around your wand arm, or that you can only say right if you can speak Parseltongue. They had some descriptions of the hexes he created in the book I have about him, and it seems just sort of really snitch that only a few witches and wizards that ever lived could actually do that sort of magic.
