After it's all done at the end of the books. The horcrux is destroyed. Do you think he is still able to speak it? why or why not?

After the horcrux inside Harry was destroyed, I think he lost the ability to speak Parseltongue. Voldemort no longer lived inside of him and could therefore not be passing on his powers, like Parseltongue, to him. That being said, would Harry still be as strong as a wizard as he was when Lord Voldemort was "alive?" I'm sure he retained some of the power he learned to harness, but the only reason he ever became powerful (as the prophecy said he would) was because Voldemort chose to make him that way. Perhaps Harry also learned to speak Parseltongue through speaking it; however, he wasn't aware that he spoke another language until he was informed, so did he really know how to speak it? I guess he figured it out after a bit, as even Ron knew some basic words by the end of the series. Fate is a strange thing. Overall, I think Harry lost his ability to speak Parseltongue. Interesting question.

I read an interview of Rowlings where she said after the horcrux is destroyed he lost the ability.

I think he might. Although he lost the part of Voldemort, he still knows the language. The first time he uses it, he doesn't realize that he could...however, after a while he can call upon it. He realizes how to use it, how to form words. If he didn't realize that he could do it before the death of Voldemort, then he'd lose it...but since he started using it on his own, I think he might have kept it.

I'd say probably not--when Voldy was destroyed, the link between them was severed, so Harry likely lost his ability to talk to snakes in their own language. Too bad, really--that was the only positive thing he got from Voldemort!

I would say no. The Parseltongue belonged to the part of Voldemort that he accidentally transferred to Harry, so when that part was separated, then Harry lost the abilties that went with it.
