Severus Snape | Parselmouth of Gryffindor Wiki | Fandom.
Most likely the last time Snape heard parseltongue being spoken was at the time when Voldemort still had his body. So Snape was reminded of Voldemort, the master he hated, someone who kille the love of his life. And he heard parseltongue from a boy he swore to protect.
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, three more Parselmouths are introduced: Marvolo, Morfin and Merope Gaunt. We learn at the same time that Professor Dumbledore understands Parseltongue, and presumably can speak it, though he never does so in Harry's hearing.
As J.K Rowling revealed, Albus Dumbledore had mastered Parseltongue too – although he could not speak it aloud. We're not sure why Albus learnt the language, but perhaps the Hogwarts headmaster wanted a better understanding of Voldemort.
The ability to actually speak Parseltongue — not just imitate it as Ron Weasley did — is considered an attribute of a Dark Wizard, which is partly due to the fact that both Salazar Slytherin and Lord Voldemort possessed this ability.
Ron spoke Parseltongue in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to open the Chamber of Secrets.
After Lord Voldemort destroyed the fragment of his soul residing in Harry, Harry seemingly lost the ability to speak Parseltongue, about which he was glad and relieved. Over the next twenty-two years, he never attempted to speak the language, presuming that it had died with Voldemort.
Ginny Weasley was able to speak Parseltongue while she was possessed by Tom Riddle's Diary, which enabled her to open the Chamber of Secrets.
Harry and Draco were both parselmouths: one born, the other taught. They fought in parseltongue in front of the entire school on a near-daily basis, and the hisses and snarls were easily heard as threats.
Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.
Miss Hermione Jean Granger, Knight of the Order of the Junior Marauders, is a witch and Parselmouth attending Hogwarts as of January 1993.
Harry is the Heir of Gryffindor (though his powers have been bound by his father when he was a baby), Neville is the Heir of Hufflepuff, Meghan (OFC, daughter of Sirius) is the Heir of Ravenclaw. Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Remus/Tonks. Sixth year. After a rare magical illness Harry becomes outstandingly powerful.
In it, Skeeter connected a young Dumbledore to having been the partner of the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. Dumbledore learning Parseltongue, while not mentioned, would've fit with this era in his life. According to the reputation of Parseltongue in Chamber of Secrets: "Hannah, [Harry's] a Parselmouth.
One of the biggest twists in the entire Harry Potter franchise came when it was revealed that after years of torment and bullying, Severus Snape was a triple agent: he was working for Dumbledore while pretending to work for Voldemort and telling Voldemort he was pretending to work for Dumbledore.
Through his mother's family, he is the last descendant of the wizard Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Basically. Voldemort thought Snape was a death eater spy pretending to be a order spy; Dumbledore knew Snape was a order spy pretending to be a death eater spy who was pretending to be a order spy.
Nowhere in the books does it suggest that only Heirs of Slytherin could speak Parseltongue. The few times it is referred to, it is only called the mark of a Dark Wizard.
Riddle ultimately changed his name, by way of an anagram, from "Tom Marvolo Riddle" to "I am Lord Voldemort", as a way of removing his own heritage and of exalting himself, and he killed the Riddle family, partly because they were Muggles, and partly because they abandoned him and his mother.
No explanation is given in any of the novels. However, when J. K. Rowling was asked the same question at an interview, she said Dumbledore had studied Parseltongue and could therefore recognize and understand it.
The lightning bolt scar that was so vibrant in the first films has almost completely disappeared. The scar is no longer dark, and instead has faded almost to his usual skintone. Scars do fade with time, but J.K Rowling wrote in the book that: "The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well."
Lord Voldemort lived inside those pages, and Ginny was eventually possessed as the Dark wizard began to absorb her strength, control her into opening the Chamber of Secrets, and nearly killed her. The event, though undeniably traumatic, was a pivotal point in Ginny's life.
Harry is very distantly related to Salazar Slytherin, but is not a descendant of him, as Voldemort is descended from Slytherin, and the second Peverell brother, while Harry is a descendant of the third.
In the Chamber itself, we see a large statue of a wizard, which Harry presumes is Salazar Slytherin. We also meet Tom Riddle, who is, as it turns out, the heir of Slytherin. Present only in spirit, he has all the same been controlling Ginny, and having her act as Slytherin's heir.
Albus Severus Potter is one of the two main protagonists of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. He is the son of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley and brother of James and Lily Potter. A few years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Albus was born sometime after his older brother, James and his younger sister, Lily.
Harry also had the unusual ability to speak and understand "Parseltongue", a language associated with Dark Magic. This, it transpires, is because he harbours a piece of Voldemort's soul. He loses this ability after the part of Voldemort's soul inside him is destroyed at the end of The Deathly Hallows.
