Ok, for the most part, Trelawney is, a fraud. Her technique is
primarily predicting what she believes is likely to happen (clumsy,
nervous Neville breaking a cup, Buckbeak being executed, Harry
getting killed by Sirius Black or in the Triwizard Tournament) and
doing so in a "spooky" voice.
However, that doesn't rule out the fact that she is often right. In
addition to the 2 "true predictions" she makes while in trances, we
have the following:
Throughout PoA, she keeps seeing a "grim" in Harry's future. Well,
there isn't a grim, but there certainly is a large, black dog. If
she had just called it a dog instead of a grim, we'd all be patting
her on the back right now.
She also predicts that, "Around Easter, one of our number will leave
us forever." I don't believe that Trelawney had any idea that
Hermione would quit the class, but that doesn't change the fact that
she did.
And one prediction that bothers me: in PoA, at Christmas dinner,
Trelawney is reluctant to sit at the table because, "Never forget
that when thirteen dine together, the first to rise will be the first
to die!" At the end of dinner "Harry and Ron got up first from the
table and she shreiked loudy. 'My dears! Which of you left his seat
first? Which?' 'Dunno,' said Ron looking uneasily at Harry." Many of
us have predicted that either Ron or Harry will not survive book 7,
and here is Trelawney predicting the same thing. And if we believe
she is correct, then we can assume that either Ron or Harry will die
before anyone else at that dinner table (Dumbledore, McGonagall,
Snape, Hermione).
