Me:  I love PoA too, but I honestly think all the interaction with Trelawney 
isn't so much to introduce Trelawney to us as to show that HARRY has the 
"Sight" whether he's having precognitive dreams or awake  Even when making 
things up, he's right on the money (Buckbeak keeps his head and flies away -- 
perfectly accurate!).  This precognition of Harry's is proving to be 
perfectly accurate where Voldemort is concerned, and he's shown indications 
he also has the Sight in non-Dark Lord matters (Buckbeak).  I think it's 
going to be an important plot point in the future.  Also the fact Hermione is 
NOT good at it and eventually quits is an interesting development in her 
character, I think.  So, while I'm not fond of Trelawney, I think her 
sub-plot is important enough to be at least touched on enough to establish 
Harry as a precog and Hermione as not the perfect (successful) student she 
always appears to be.  JMHO
