Hi, everybody,
it seems that our Admins had a well- deserved lie- in yesterday, and 
I'm not in the least authorized to play their role, being a rather 
recent member of this group, but I'd like to say this anyway: I don't 
think it's of interest for anybody on this list to read posts where 
people are bickering about what to do or not to do on Shabbat. It's 
not only OT, it's highly private, so please....

OK, now to the topic of this post: May I, with the incredible 
arrogance of the non-native-speaker, suggest that "Real prediction" 
might simply mean "not fake"? IMHO, Dumbledore was present when 
Trelawney made it and he, like Harry, could certainly distinguish a 
real trance from reading Grims out of tea-leaves.

The whole Grim thing, again IMO, is not a prediction come true, it is 
simply JKR's very weird sense of humour, which I happen to share, and 
a very lengthy illustration of Hermione's POV concerning Divination.

As for Harry's peer who becomes a teacher: The fact that he or she 
*becomes* a teacher does not necessarily imply that we will see him 
or her teach! It could simply be that at the end of he book it 
becomes clear that, let's say Draco ;), will be the new DADA teacher.
(Hopefully there won't be too many Voldemort-induced vacancies!)
