"Clutching at straws" may have sounded a little strong - apologies, 
but I still don't think that Ron is a Seer, and some of the examples 
given, such as his comment about Crookshanks having it "in" for 
Scabbers was to me just obvious - and everyone had noticed, but put 
it down to normal behaviour.  Ron's dislike of Crookshanks and 
accusing him of malevolence probably also sprung from the spider-
eating incident - I think he thought that Crookshanks had it in for 
him, and Scabbers was an extension of that.

My point about Harry doesn't stem from his predictions and 
deductions, but the dreams he has - such as the simultaneous ones 
featuring Voldemort, which isn't seeing into the future exactly, but 
does involve some kind of ESP or something - don't know how to label 
it.  Also the dream about Prongs in the forest, before he knew what 
his Patronus was and what his father's animagus form was.

Back to the twins, and very OT - I would be more inclined to think 
that they were Seers if they had predicted the outcome of last 
night's England v. Germany game!  Now that would have been something!
