I think that, perhaps, since it is pretty evident that most of the teacher's 
find Trelawny's predictions to be complete and utter excrement on the most 
part- save when Dumbledore says that her true predictions are up to "Two"- no 
one really believed that it was important. Trelawny seems more like a novelty 
to have around which entertains Dumbledore than an actual "seer". Sure, her 
ideas and heart are in the right place, but look at how M. McGonagall pick 
fun of her, Trelawny's, predictions.

I tend to agree with Hermione's actions with regards to her... Just leave the 
class....
She doesn't seem the most reliable source of information. ;)
