Eleanor:
But that's okay, because look at JKR's actual quote:

----From http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/faq_view.cfm?id=56 ----
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'.
----End quote----

The discovery is made in 'Chamber' the book, not the actual Chamber.  So Parseltongue is 
entirely possible.
