Virtually every throw-away comment Ron makes in the books turns out 
to be prescient.  A couple of examples that immediately spring to 
mind:

When asked why Tom Riddle was given a special award for services to 
the school (CoS), he replies something along the lines of "Maybe he 
killed Myrtle"; in fact, Tom used the basilisk to kill her.

In GoF, when he and Harry make up their star charts, his includes a 
fight with a friend and his own death by drowning; shortly after, he 
and Harry split up over the Triwizard cup, and Ron is later taken 
away underwater by the mer-people.

There are scads of others; had I more time I'd start skimming the 
archives.  But rest assured, Ron has the Sight - and I'm sure he 
would deny it.
