To be precise, these are not unique among living wizards; they 
are just rare.  We don't know whether anyone besides Harry and 
Voldemort are Parselmouths; people aren't real likely to make it 
public if they are.  Resisting the Imperius Curse is not 
unheard-of; Harry's just unusually good at it.  I'm going by Crouch 
Sr's ability to shake it off (granted, it takes him several months), 
but more by Moody's attempt to teach resistance in class, which 
he wouldn't do if it were something impossible or unteachable.  
And we have no idea whether others have prophetic dreams.
