Hi!  You know, I really love this theory.  I had wondered for quite 
awhile about the numerous dragon references.  What I don't know is 
whether or not this is one more...

In COS, whenever Harry speaks Parseltongue, it's described as a 
hissing noise.  Then, in GOF, during the first task when Harry is 
trying to lure the Hungarian Horntail into rearing up away from the 
eggs, he also hisses.  Ch. 20, pg. 356 (Am. ed.):  "'Come on,' Harry 
hissed, swerving tantalizingly above her, 'come on, come and get 
me...up you get now...'  And then she reared,..."  Of course, perhaps 
this is just the verb choice JKR made to show that Harry wasn't 
really speaking aloud, but rather muttering under his breath.  But is 
it possible that he might be able to speak to dragons?
For what it's worth...
