  No, it would not stretch my intellectual capacities, but as 
it's a language with no links, connections, or soundsystem common to 
English, it would probably stretch my vocal abilities to the extent 
that the word might not mean what I wanted it to in Chinese.
Parseltongue is noted, by Ron, as being very rare. As far as I 
remember, Ron heard Harry say 'open' once in Parseltongue, in Moaning 
Myrtle's bathroom.

  I thought the Parseltongue was lame and wierd, too, until I reread. Ron hears Harry say "open" a lot, as Harry is constantly trying to open the snitch. In fact, if Ron and Hermione hadn't picked up on how to say that one word, that would have been strange. I think it works. Katie
