Neptune isn't the god of death or the underworld, though, that's
Pluto.  Neptune is *(wo)manfully supresses the urge to complicate* the
god of the sea.  *gives in*  Poseidon/Neptune represents the elemental
*force* of the sea, its destructive power, and thus P/N is also the god
of storms, earthquakes, and, fwiw, horses.  Prof. Trelawney may
therefore be profesying great destruction or havoc by mentioning
Neptune.

Or maybe there'll be a war with the merfolk? *g*
