Talking to Animals

I'm sorry, but I hate, hate, hate the idea of all animals having their own 
--tongue. In my mind, it undervalues the novelty of Harry, Voldemort and 
Slytherin being able to speak to snakes. If there were people all over the 
place who could talk to birds, lizards, unicorns, dragons, frogs, lobsters, 
etc would a little boy who could talk to snakes be such a big deal? Would 
this ability play such a pivotal role in the perception of the two main 
villains, and the uncanny similarities between them and our hero?

I think the reason that Slytherin and his descendents (and Harry-the-fluke) 
can speak to snakes is due mainly to the fact that Slytherin pulled a 
Voldemort. AhaIve lost you havent I? Allow me to explain my theory. Like 
the big V experimented with immortality, Slytherin experimented and 
unearthed this ability (for lack of a better word) to speak to snakes, who 
he happened to feel a certain affinity with. Slytherin created curses or 
charms that, when used in conjunction with one another would allow him the 
ability to converse with snakes, and pass this ability down through his 
descendents which would eventually lead to the chamber being opened, the 
basilisk being unleashed, and his own evil plan being fulfilled!!

And now I would like to take this opportunity to say:

MWA HA HA!!

Im sorry, but I was on a roll with the evil-genius ploy thing, and I had to 
get that out of my system

Now, I have returned to my normal, abnormal self, and in all seriousness 
would like to add that I do not think that all snakes are evil. Just the 
ones that were crossbred to be so i.e. the basilisk.


Now I am going to bed.
