Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

This was by far the most interesting book I've ever read in the harry potter series. The Dumbledore and Snape plot was just as I presumed. In a corner of my mind I've always thought that Dumbledore had plotted his own death, but what I couldn't reason my self was up to what extent did his plan will work after his death.
It was very good move of J.K.Rowling to say that Snape had feelings for Lily and that really made that the plot will work even after Dumbledore died.
My concern is that how on earth did Ron learn to speak "Parseltongue". If I have read it right they got the Basilisk's from the Chamber of the Secrets and destroyed Hufflepuff's goblet by Ron speaking Parseltongue and retrieving the Basilisk head. That was a really baffling point to me.
Deathly Hallows and how it helped harry to survive the killing curse the second time is also a bit confusing to me. Was it the fact that he was the rightful owner of the Elden Wand that enabled him to live??? Come to think of it other wands also could not harm him since he had the two way connection between Voldermort and Harry. But why then harry came to the near death experience situation where he met Dumbledore?? Dumbledore said that if he wanted he had the choice of "Moving On" but he also said that he had the choice of staying back and finishing the unfinished work. That part is a bit confusing to me.
But all in all it was the best Harry Potter book I have ever read. It had more near capture and death situations than all the other potter books put to together. The ending was like all children's story books should end. A HAPPY ENDING!! The bad guy was dead. All magical communities came together and to top it all up HARRY & GINNNY got married and had three children, RON & HERMIONE married. Rowling doesn't say who Malfoy married but he has a son just like him. And Oh almost forgot Neville now has to be addressed as Professor since he is the Herbology teacher at Hogwarts!!
BEST SERIES EVER!!! Thanks J.K Rowling for this wonderful fiction series!!
