story.  We know that Tom Riddle put great store in prophecies.  He

Slytherin's own true heir came to the school.  He seems to revel in 
fulfilling a prophecy and evidently believes in Divination.

Thanks for reminding me of Tom Riddle/Voldmort's placing such great 
emphasis on predictions.  Has anyone ever thought of the possibility 
that someone besides Trelawney made a prediction concerning Harry?  
Can it really be possible that there are no other seers in the WW?  
McGonagall stated that divination is a difficult art and that there 
were very few "genuine" seers.  What if Voldemort had faith in a 
certain seer and was acting on his/her predictions?  I know this is a 
big assumption but, IMO, it can be considered plausible-given what we 
know about Voldemort's controlling nature.
