I'm pretty suspicious of Trelawney.  She's been portrayed as a total 
flake overall, who doesn't seem to have the respect of any of her 
colleagues, or of the students (other than Parvati & Lavender).  She 
always seems to delight in demoralizing Harry in particular, but 
when she made her *real* prediction about the dark lord rising, I 
began to wonder.  No one but death eaters ever seem to refer to him 
as the dark lord.

What is a controversial evil!Draco-theorist?  Have I missed a 
thread? I thought that evil Draco was pretty much canon.  Is canon 
controversial now?
