Neri:
Allow me to correct. Power(s) tranfered from Voldy are mentioned 
EXACTLY twice in all the five books: once in CoS, and once in DD's 
words in the end of OotP. Regarding the mind link, in canon it is 
NEVER connected with the transferred powers. Not that I believe for 
one second that there is no connection between these two things, but 
in canon they are never connected. Parseltongue is mentioned EXACTLY 
once outside of CoS: in GoF when Draco tells about it to Rita Skeeter 
in order to blacken Harry's name. 

There wasn't any background rumble about the transferred powers. 
There was a resounding silence. It is high time these mysterious 
powers will make their appearence.

Neri:
But JKR just told us that there is no connection between them:
"The link I mentioned between books two and six does not, in fact, 
relate to the 'Half-Blood Prince' (because there is no trace left of 
the HBP storyline in 'Chamber'.) Rather, it relates to a discovery 
Harry made in 'Chamber' that foreshadows something that he finds out 
in 'Prince'."

I warned you about my nitpicking.
