Well, all of Harry's dreams come true in some way or other. This 
could mean that Harry is a seer.  But since nearly the entire Canon 
is from Harry's POV, it is only his dreams that are directly reported 
to us. And of course no writer since the days of Homer and Genesis 
would ever introduce a dream into the narrative that was irrelevant 
to the larger meaning of the story.
