By the time we finish reading GoF, we learn that Harry has dreams 
that show him the deeds of Voldemort or atleast shed some truth on 
the circumstances around him. Though in most cases he forgets them. 
This was intentionally done by JK.

So believing that, go back and read one of Harry's very first dreams. 
The one I'm referring to is the one with Quirrell's turban telling 
him his destiny has something to do with Slytherin. (sorry, don't 
have the books with me here) He wakes up not remembering it.

So what is your interpretation of this?

- Was it Voldemort magically trying to influence Harry to join 
Slytherin and the 'dark side' through his dreams?

or

- Was it Harry having a true vision of his destiny that was supposed 
to be with the Slytherins? (which he chose against)
