Hi !
I' sorry, this mail is some kind of quick shot through the last three days, so its all a bit mixed up and answers several threats.

I can't answer all of your auestions aswell. But what I know is that Harry herd his parents' voice for the first time when he was "attaced" by the dementors in PoA and not from the photographs in the album Hagrid gave him in the ending of PS/ SS. So this might be te clue that tey can't speak.

Yes, its right that people fear Photographs could take bits of their souls in some cultures, e.g. some muslims do. I think Kelly's idea fits well. 

BTW im my German edition it is not said that the card for the choclate frog is a photograph it coud also be a good sketch or something like that. So if it was a sketch then it would explain why Dumbledore could leave without a problem ... but if it was a photograph than it would be no problem anyway. Just rememer the photograph of Harry and Lockhard in CoS... But that still doesn't make them speak... 
Has anybody other clues that proove this or the opposite?

Yours Finchen
