FWIW,  D'dore has a lot of these "insights." Note he wasn't too 
surprisedabout  Trelawney's revelation, and even added some 
things himself -- like the connection between Scabbers and Harry, 
with the implications of having saved a wizard's life. I'm guessing 
Dumbledore himself is a pretty accomplished seer.  He just knows 
more than we see him finding out. Some could come from backstory, 
like hard facts about magical theory.  But how does he know exactly 
what to say to Harry and Hermione as he sends them on their way 
to save Sirius and Beaky, especially with a time loop involved?

I think Dumbledore knows how all this is going to come out, 
perhaps better than JKR does at the moment.
