This is an interesting thought, and it brings to mind something else: Has 
anyone thought (damned Yahoo archive!) that speaking Parseltongue is to some 
extent a *telepathic* ability? After all snakes are *deaf*.  

If TMR/LV was born with powerful telepathic powers (and transfered them 
accidentally to Baby!Harry) this might explain a lot of things: Parseltongue, 
ScarOVision, and why wizards don't apparate when Voldie comes knocking (sort 
of like the theory of snakes hypnotizing their prey, already discussed in 
that excellent symbolism post.)

I'd like to hear anyone's input on this.
