Here's a thought for you about odd predictions that Ron may have been 
right about.  How about the bit where Ron suggests that maybe Snape 
is actually trying to open Harry's mind to V?  (Of course, Ron would 
have Snape's motives wrong, but...)  Granted, Dumbledore's talk with 
Harry at the end of the book would seem to disallow it, but it seemed 
to likely reading it that I'm not entirely convinced that 
strengthening Harry's bond with V wasn't preciesly what Dumbledore 
had in mind when he asked Snape to give Harry Occlumency lessons.  
Perhaps I've just been dwelling on MAGIC DISHWASHER a bit too much.
