We have a bunch of Parseltongue statements from earlier in the fic. Who wants to go back and see if any of them were lies?

Fwiw, I am not convinced that Quirrel is definitely telling the truth there. For one, "Sslytherin not sstupid. Ssnake Animaguss not ssame as Parsselmouth. Would be huge flaw in sscheme."

He's human when he talks in Parselmouth, though, and chances are the whole Harry's-a-Parselmouth-because-Voldie-is deal is carried over from canon too.

He [QQ]'s human when he talks in Parselmouth

Only now. The past statements were made as an animagus.

(Presumably because outing himself as a Parselmouth might have given the game away, but now Harry has already decided he's Voldemort so there's nothing to lose.)
