Harry released a boa constrictor which was native to Brasil but was bred in captivity. In the movie, a Burmese Python was used.

The snake only responds to Harry because he is a Parseltongue, which means he can speak to snakes. The snake is used to people tapping on the glass, which is what Dudley does, and when Harry begins to speak to it - the snake responds.
