Here's an interesting way to search it:

We haven't had a good Ron Is A Seer discussion here
since last *June*. This is as good a time as any to
trot out that canon evidence (some of which you can
find by following the links in Amanda's post at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/21324
or reviewing the post at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/33530
which I quote below)
1. Ron's predictions from Divination class are
accurate
Ron sees two things in Harry's teacup:

An acorn, representing a windfall, unexpected gold -
the 1000 Galleons from the Tri-wizard cup in GoF,
perhaps?

An animal (not the Grim!) - Sirius Black is an
animagus (as we discover later in the book)

In GoF, Ron makes the following predictions for his
star chart:

Harry will be stabbed in the back by someone he
thought was a friend - Harry and Ron have a fight
after Harry is named to the Tri-wizard tournament and
barely speak for almost a month.

Ron predicts his own drowning - he is taken underwater
by the merpeople for Harry to rescue in the second
task.


2. Ron comments that maybe T.M. Riddle murdered Myrtle
(well, he *did*)
3.  Ron, also in CoS, tries to stop Harry frompicking
up the Diary because it might be dangerous
4. Again in CoS, Ron says that Lockhart's adventures
might only be things he "says he's done", but not
actually done.


Of course, torimarie posts in Message 33656 that Ron
"does possibly make a prediction about Percy that I
fear will come true later..." which brings us back to
the Nel question of the week - Percy - good, evil,
ambitious, patsy or misled? But I need to read some of
the posts on that before I reply.
