Okay, well. In book 2, it says that Harry can speak parceltongue because of his connection to Volemort. In book 7, the peice of soul inside harry that was Vodemort's was destroyed. Does this mean that Harry will no longer be able to speak to snakes? Just a theory of mine Wink

Well. From a point of view, sometimes animals are much more understanding than humans.

Or it could be that humans are much less understanding than animals.

Although I see a benefit in talking to snakes (like telling an anaconda not to kill you just because of a wrong place/wrong time apparation) it hardly seems worth it if everyone is scared of you, and prejudiced...seems like the sort of thing wich is quite good, but you'd want to keep to yourself.

Actually, I'd rather not. Although it would be interesting to be able to speak.

Now, there is a good reason to want to speak parseltongue. Otherwise, I have no desire to do so.
