Karina: I loved that bit, actually. I've been suspecting that
Parseltongue is learnable since Dumbledore didn't ask Harry for
translation of the Morfin's memory wherein he and Voldemort spoke
exclusively in Parseltongue. 

Anne:

I wondered if Ron's speaking Parseltongue might have been the 
"magic" that was performed late in life???  It's very rare 
magic - only LV and Harry are known speakers, it *was* a moment 
of desperation in the Battle of Hogwarts...from a certain point 
of view it could been seen as someone doing hitherto impossible 
magic?  It's a long shot, I know, but just maybe...
