Hmm.  Interesting point.  I've never seen it that way.
 His dreams of things happening far away have always
been, to my recollection, of things that Voldemort is
doing at the time. (ie, kiling Frank)  I always
thought that it was the same "connection" to Voldie
through the scar that transmitted those particularly
murderous scenes to Harry via dreams.

The dream Harry had about Quirrel's turban, though, I
had interpreted as Voldemort purposely contacting
Harry, trying to turn him without a direct
confrontation.  I hadn't thought about it as Harry
being a possible Seer...are there any other
"prescient" dreams of Harry's you can name?
