Is Ron a Seer?

Looking back at PoA and GoF, I've noticed that Ron's predictions have 
an uncanny knack for coming true - even when he makes them up.  
Examples:

In PoA, in their first Divination class, 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.


That's a pretty good average, for a 14 year old wizard without much 
training.  Better than Professor Trelawny, at any rate...

I've lent out ms PS/SS and CoS - can someone else take a look for 
more of Ron's predictions?  Perhaps he has The Sight - though I'm 
sure he'd deny it.
