Peggy:
There are two different memories (maybe more? but I definitely recall
two) where Dumbledore is there that involve Parseltongue.  IIRC the
second one is where Tom Riddle goes back and murders his parents, and
sets up Morfin for the blame; he speaks Parseltongue with Morfin in
this scene.  I believe It is this Morfin memory where Dumbledore and
Harry discuss what what Morfin and Tom are saying (can't verify this
now since I am away from my books).
