Professor Trelawney's "experience"

For me, I just always took Trelawney's statement as meaning she has 
experience in "seeing."  She can see that Harry is obviously having 
some kind of vision that ends in him clutching his scar.  I don't 
think it goes any deeper than that.  I don't know that anyone knows 
anything about a curse scar like Harry's.  No one's ever had one 
before.

On the topic of Trelawney and Harry, I wanted to point something out, 
and I apologize if it's been brought up before.  I didn't find it in 
the HB or the VFAQ...as far as I could see.  Has anyone else noticed 
that Harry's predictions are always right?  At the end of PS (or SS 
for our American friends), Quirrell demands that Harry tell him what 
is in the Mirror of Erised, and Harry says that he's shaking hands 
with Dumbledore because he's won the house cup for Gryffindor.  Well, 
he basically did (between Ron, Hermione, Neville and himself).  And 
another example is his final for Trelawney at the end of PoA.  He 
makes up his prediction that Buckbeak will go free, and Buckbeak 
*does* go free.  I believe there are other examples when Harry and 
Ron are doing their homework (but I can't remember them right now!). 
I wonder if this points to Harry's possible future as and Auror or 
even a true Seer?
