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.
