You only need the IGMP snooping querier configuration in 'vlan
configuration' context if you're not running PIM on the interface
because it's a link-local multicast with no multicast routing
configured.

If that's the case, it really doesn't matter what IP you use, but
using the HSRP address would make the IGMP querier election (it's a
little surprising that this runs, but it does) kind of wonky, so I
wouldn't do that.

I *think* (some?) Catalysts which support this L2 querier feature send
their queries from 0.0.0.0, though I haven't tested it for a long
time.

I have experimented a bit with exactly the scenario you're talking
about much more recently.

The IP you configure here will be stamped in the IGMP queries. Nothing
more. The "router" portion of your Nexus doesn't even need to hear the
reply, so you could use an address you don't own. These queries exist
only to make hosts reply for the benefit of IGMP snooping L2 gear.
It's totally synthetic and doesn't really matter.
