But the real reason is the language cannot be learnt. And frankly even if she phrased it as an opinion (I don't see it that way but to humour your suggestion) it seems to me with something like this that that is as good as canon; it's how she sees it and it is her universe and therefore it's how it is. | |

Anything else may be additional reasons, but these two are why teaching Parseltongue is not only not done, but actually impossible. | |
