Luna Lovegood can see the future.

I re-read OOTP were the kids are first introduced to Luna. She is 
sitting on the train reading her father's newspaper. She is reading 
an article entitled: Secrets of the Ancient Runes Revealed. Perhaps 
this is a subject Luna excels at. 

Also, I think Luna may be able to see the future. I don't think she 
has completely mastered it, but the idea makes sense if you think 
about some of her behavior in OOTP. 

Examples:She raises the newspaper she is reading on the train moments 
before Neville's plant explodes over everyone. Everyone in the 
compartment is drenched in slime except for her. 

Also, there are many times throughout the book when things are 
happening and Luna appears to be bored. If she already knows what is 
going to happen--of course she is going to be bored. At the end of 
OOTP she has no fear during the fight, and is the only person not 
hurt. If she knew what was going to happen she knew that she would be 
fine, or knew how to avoid getting hurt. 

She hasn't told anyone because she has knowledge that it would be 
better not to, hasn't needed to, knows the future is not fixed, 
doesn't want Voldemort to find out, and most importantly doesn't want 
to give the last two books away for JKR Rowling. I think Rowling 
didn't bring Luna into the picture until now because she was afraid 
the character would give too much away (and someone annoying like me 
would figure it out). 

Luna's reactions to Ron are over the top--more like hero worship--not 
like she has a love crush kind of thing. (Her responses to Ron are 
more like people have to Super Stars/famous people in history, etc.) 
She may know that Ron will be the hero in book 7. (Look at my earlier 
comments about Ron being the leader of the army against Voldemort.) 

In fact she may be the person that saves Ron in the end.
