Snape didn't know Harry was a Parseltongue because when the snake
appeared he told Harry not to move and he (Snape) would get rid of
it.  He would have stood back and waited silently with arms folded.

I think he thought it would be fun to use the Slytherin symbol to
terrify Harry in front of his friends; as someone else said, most
people are icky about snakes and this was a big one.

It's a rare condition but not completely unheard-of.  Considering the
Great Slytherin Mythology, Snape would have to wonder if there's more
to Harry than is apparent superficially.
