What about Harry?  When he and Ron are making up disasters for their
homework, Harry's first prediction is that he will be in danger of
being burned, and the second is that he'll lose something valuable.
Those are the first two tasks to a T, and this is before the Goblet
coughed up Harry's name.  

As for predicting the third task, it's hard to say because Harry first
wants to say he'll come out the worse in a fight, Ron says he wanted
to do that one, and so Harry says he'll lose a bet. I suppose deciding
to grab the trophy at the same time as Cedric was a kind of bet, but
that's a rather broad interpretation, if you ask me.  

And did Harry come out the worse in a fight? He did get messed up in
that duel with Voldemort, but he's lucky to be alive. So when Ron
snatched that prediction up it means that Harry was supposed to be
killed but because he didn't write it in his homework, he wasn't
killed, and Ron inadvertently saved his life by taking the prediction.  

Nope, that's way too lame. I don't buy it for a minute.
