Bart:
He wasn't speaking Parseltongue; he was repeating a single word he 
heard. I speak a grand total of one phrase in Cantonese; it took me 
about 5 seconds to learn, using a mnemonic. Ron must have heard Harry 
use the word numerous times, in numerous combinations, trying to open up 
the Snitch, probably until he was sick of it.
