We won’t give any examples right now - it’s better to leave them as a surprise for you!

Couldn't it be said Voldemort killed him because he was dying from a curse he got while hunting the horcrux. Didn't Snape just participate in an assisted suicide because Dumbledore told him he had to kill him .

Yes, being a parselmouth means having the ability to talk to snakes and other creatures related to the serpent family and you can find books in knock turn alley about parselmagic as well.For example if Harry had chosen the Chinese Fireball dragon instead of Victor Krum then Harry could have use his ability in parseltongue to ask the dragon for the egg instead.
