Parseltongue

Ini dari salah satu milis Snape:

I haven't seen this discussed here yet, but has anyone any thoughts on why parseltougue would work since snakes are deaf?
I was thinking that maybe the snakes pick up the vibrations and the heat eminating from a live person/animal as they do in real life (hence all the hissing) but would it then need to be a language? It would make more sense to telepathically communicate with the snakes rather than have an actual audible language. Any thoughts?

Dan jawabannya:

I found this info in animal planet, I hope it helps.The sense organs of snakes are uniquely different than those of mammals and other animals. Unlike mammals, which mainly rely on their sight and hearing, snakes rely primarily on their senses of smell and touch. They do not have moveable eyelids, but transparent caps called "brille" as protective eye coverings. Because of this, their eye movement is fairly limited. They also do not have an external ear, middle ear, or tympanic membrane (eardrum). Instead, they use a small ossicle (ear bone), called the "columella," to detect vibrations of sound waves conducted through the ground. They are able to pick up some sound waves conducted through the air, but only at very low frequencies.

Iya, ya?
