When Tom  Riddle first visits the Gaunt house, he meets Uncle Morfin for the first  time.  He enters the house, and immediately begins to speak to  Morfin...in Parseltongue.  How does he know to do this?


Perhaps it was an automatic thing that happened, much like Harry speaking to the snake in SS or in CofS.  Maybe Riddle's relatives were so snaky that it was a natural reaction.
