Zoo Snake

I don't think it was posessed by Voldemort (who was in some jungle or 
posessed Quirrell) at the time.

It was there to introduce parseltongue and Harry's ability in it - 
before using *that* in book two. Yet, I think that the Boa 
Constrictor will appear again. Big enough to crush Vernon's car... 
Hmm.. Harry might be at Figgs' while Dursleys visit the zoo again, 
and this time the Boa might kill Petunia and Dudley... thus 
destroying, partly, Harry's protection.

Mrs. Figg... Could she be Harry's godmother or another relative? 
(possibly with Ageing potion that smells like cabbage?)
