 A snake on the 
other hand is a snake, and since Parselmouths are rare who would you 
learn from?  


Catherine again:
   
  Well, that's the problem. I think someone on the list (I forget who) mentioned that maybe one of the portraits was a parselmouth and he either learned or somehow had the portrait translate the memory. 
  It would be hard for me to believe that Dumbledore would not do everything possible to know exactly what was said during those pensieve scenes. I'm afraid that this might be one of the un-answered questions in the series. I mean, does it really matter if/how DD understood all that. It doesn't really seem all that important to the plot line. It would be a nice-to-know thing.

  By the way, has it been discussed before that the portraits in DD's office seem to be much more "alive" than the other portraits we've seen? They seem to be more than catch-phrase reproductions to me....
