Speaking of Dumbledore and Parseltongue. Cockatiel of Doom Send a noteboard - 28/10/2010 05:03:10 AM
I was trying to figure out if Dumbledore could understand all the conversations that were going on. He asked Harry if he (Harry) could understand, but doesn't seem to give an indication one way or the other whether he himself (Dumbledore) can.

I kind of wanted Dumbledore to ask Harry for a translation when they were done. Because that would have been cool.
