Now me, Tammy:
Actually, I believe the strongest argument against this particular theory is the fact 
that the snake in the zoo was a Brazilian boa constrictor (PS/SS, pg 28, US 
Scholastic boxed set), which is completely non-venomous, while Nagini must be 
'milked' for LV's sustenance (GOF, pg 7, same box set).  Only venomous snakes 
can be milked -- you have to coax them to release their venom into a bottle (as 
opposed to into your arm).  Therefore, Harrys' pal from the zoo simply cannot be 
Nagini.
