Parselmouth -- ~Harry~ had only talked to a snake once so unless 
Snape was watching him at the zoo (highly unlikely) then he wouldn't 
know.

At the end of COS, Dumbledore tells Harry "Unless I'm much mistaken, 
he [Voldemort]transferred some of his own powers to you the night he 
gave you that scar.  Not something he intended to do, I'm sure..."

I have a feeling that at least Dumbledore and Snape, (together or 
seperately) have been wondering just what powers were transferred to 
Harry that night; it might be crucial in the future fight against V. 
It would be like Snape to be looking out for circumstances to test 
Harry, and when the duel came up he seized on the chance to see if he 
was a parselmouth. This also explains the "shrewd and calculating 
look" he gives Harry afterwards.
