Harry didn't understand the HH because she wasn't necessarily speaking 
parseltongue.  I think dragons are multilingual but parseltongue is 
not their native tongue, it is but one of many.  I also don't think 
dragons especially *want* to communicate with wizards; but I stick 
with my gut notion that they *can* and my prediction that they *will.*

I just like to speculate like everyone else.
