This is how I interpreted it too the other gagillion - 1 times I read
it, but if you read the passage literally, I don't think she's saying
that. Though, regardless of the interpretation, I still feel that
the scene has some major foreshadowing. Harry will at some point
figure out that his scar has more powers and it may very well be
Trelawney that helps him (probably unwittingly).

Yes, I believe it's been discussed on and off. It is also pointed out
that Ron's predictions also come true. Though I can't remember all
the details or the threads.
