Hello all,
I was just reading SS and came across something very interesting. When
Harry is at the zoo for Dudley's birthday he comes across a snake from
Brazil.  He starts talking to the snake and the snake is responding with
some heads nods and few words. We know that Harry is a parselmouth but how
is it that the snake  understood what Harry was saying, when he was talking
in English ? I know that in CoS Harry talked to the snake without even
knowing of it, but he spoke  in parseltongue.
 



Tiffany:
My best guess is that the Harry was speaking in parseltongue in SS. Maybe
that's why Dudley and Pierce were so interested in what the snake was doing,
because it was responding to Harry making funny noises. Harry didn't realize
he was speaking parseltongue in COS until Ron and Hermione told him after
the dueling club incident. Didn't he say something like 'I spoke another
language?" So perhaps Harry thought he was speaking English to the Brazilian
snake in SS.
