Sure. He didn't really realize that he had that power, yet, at least 
not that he would intentionally call upon it. And if he didn't have 
anything particularly pressing to say, the auto-parseltongue thing 
wouldn't happen. 

And there's always the fact that Norbert was a baby who 1) hadn't 
learned to talk yet and 2) had no dragons around him from which to 
learn language.
