They enhance the sentence or describe the mood in which it was uttered.

Written language is not the real language, regardless of what your English teachers may tell you. Spoken English is what the squiggles on paper attempt to capture. Listen to how people speak. They often use interjections and sentence fragments. They even use run-on sentences. Spoken English is very rough and unpolished. But it is how people communicate and communicate very well. Interjections are very useful. People often say things like, "Wow!", "Ouch!", or "#$%^!" You know what they mean when they say it. You can't always talk like a British aristocrat and say, "I do believe that the present situation has left me nonplussed." Interjections are a useful part of speech. Just enjoy them and revel in the fact that you don't have to learn rules about how to properly use them.

everything in the english must be classified and even though an interjection has no relation to a sentence, it IS a part of speech.
think of it this way, if you speak it, then it's a part of speech. the problem is finding WHICH part of speech it is. =]

An interjection, is as susceptible to parsing as any other phrase. But the parsing is as independent of the context as if it were a separate sentence.
