Random Parseltongue questions

IIRC, Parseltongues can actually control serpents, right? So, if there was a
snake animagus, could a Parseltongue make him do whatever he (the
Parseltongue) wanted?

Also, (and hopefully this hasn't been discussed too much before)
Parseltongue seems to work on dragons. During the first task, the Horntail's
head is swaying "like a snake before it's charmer." "'Come on,' Harry
hissed, swerving tantalizingly above her, 'come on, come and get me...up you
get now...'" And then she rears. What with the snake imagery and the hissing
(and obeying), it seems obvious to me that Harry was speaking Parseltongue.
But I also think that JKR would have mentioned it in the book, especially
since it was only obvious to me upon closer examination. Of course, it's
possible that I'm just slow and it went without saying.

One last thing. Do you think there is such thing as a Parseltongue for an
animal other than serpents? Obviously, it wouldn't be called
Parseltongue....
