I know that there was some discussion of parsel tongue being used by Ron in this book...on a reread we see that harry used parseltongue to open up the locket. That means it probably would have been pretty fresh in Rons mind as to how he remembered it when back at Hogwarts.

Harry using parseltongue was months before Ron used it. Its definitely a pretty big stretch. Not that I care it was convenient for the story.

Eh not really...if you heard someone say one word in another language, more than likely you will remember the jist of that word. Thats why it took Ron several times to get an exact word.

More than likely you wouldn't. Especially in a language that is completely different from anything he knows.
