Is Ron a seer?

Has anyone else noticed that Ron seems to have mystical powers? 
(unconscious powers that need no wand - ie, Harry puffing up his Aunt 
Marge).

   More often than not Ron tends to have seer abilities. He predicts 
what's about to happen. Not convinced yet? ("You wouldn't be thinking 
of restarting Weasleys' Wizard Wheezers, by any chance?" p136, GoF). 
("That cats got it in for Scabbers!" p111, PoA) ("What would it have 
been for you?" said Ron, sniggering. "A piece of homework that only 
got nine out of ten?" p106, PoA). ("That tap's never worked," said 
myrtle brightly, as he tried to turn it. "Harry," said Ron, "say 
something in Parseltonge." p222, CoS) ("Maybe be murdered Myrtle, 
that would've done everyone a favour" p173 CoS) and there are many 
more.

   Maybe, (looking at GoF), having seer powers is something that runs 
in the family, (unrealised probably). At the Quidditch World Cup F&G 
predicted, (v. confidently) "that Ireland will win - but Krum gets 
the snitch" p81. That correct prediction wasn't a coincidence, "Not a 
chance, boys, not a chance" and "good lord, i don't think any of us 
were expecting that!" p83 &103. Also in CoS george predicted, "He's 
(harry) nipping off to the chamber of secrets to have a cup of tea 
with his fanged servant" p157.

   I also have another theory (however, this is a v.week one and, 
most probably, has nothing to do with Rons'  mystical powers). Ron 
didn't like Gilderoy Lockhart at all, and was convinced Lockhart was 
a fake, "He say's he's done". Then at the end of the CoS Lockhart 
looses his memory in a freak accident - can this be due to Rons' 
dislike of him, and is another mystical power Ron has got? I very 
much dought it. However, if something bad, in the future, happens to 
Krum then maybe i'll look deeper into it, (otherwise - plz disregard 
this rubbish last paragraph, thanx)!

luv issy (who something's looks too deeply into the odd)!
