After reading the book again, I think I may have come up with a 
reasonable explanation of why Ron could speak Parseltongue to open 
the Chamber of Secrets.  If you remember, just before Ron destroys 
the locket, Harry thought he saw a flash of scarlet in Ron's eyes.  
Could not a Voldemort memory have flashed into Ron and allowed him to 
speak a good enough version of Parseltongue to get them into the 
Chamber?  Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I haven't seen 
it yet.
