What an interesting thought.. yet another of Voldie's servants in the debt of 
Mister Potter. I think that under the circumstances, if this is the case, Harry 
wouldn't have necessairly recognized the snake. It had been 4 years, and it is 
likely Nagini is much bigger in GOF than when she (?) was at the zoo, and 
there were other dire things happening (Cedric's death, et cetera). There isn't 
any indication of Harry recognizing the kind of snake either there or in OOP, 
and as someone who doens't pay a lot of attention to snakes, I doubt even if 
he had recognized it as the same sort of snake, to remember the exact 
markings to identify it as the exact same snake is pretty unlikey.  So this could 
perhaps be a viable thought. Voldermort could have found Nagini in London 
when he was with Quirrell in London in PS/SS when Hagrid and Harry meet 
him on Harry's first trip to Diagon Alley.
