Prediction was that who ever put Harry's name in, would use Krum's 
ability in Dark Arts to put unforgivable curse on a champion (thus 
framing Krum to hide tracks and cause further disperse between 
Durmstrang and the rest of WW)... even if Krum himself wouldn't.

Though Sirius may have erred on Target, well-- Krum was a threat to 
Cedric, although not to Harry in action. (But under the 
circumstances, Sirius can't warn anyone but Harry). Experience from 
the Voldemort-war I - if someone knows how to cast Unforgivable, no 
matter who or how nice he seems - Imperius means he's a likely threat 
to anyone...

But still I'd say Sirius is good at divination, though not excellent. 
What he wrote to Harry - "If your scar hurts again, go straight to 
Dumbledore. He's reading the same signs as I".
Reading signs? Well... sounds *very* much like divination to me. So 
while Sirius isn't excellent at it --
"Just because you haven't been attacked yet, doesn't mean you won't 
be later".
Well, let's just say he's taken the course.
And the point isn't really in predictions, but in accepting life as 
it comes...

Dumbledore:
Remember Cedric Diggory.
Harry behind the gravestone:
"He's going to kill me anyway. I'll die fighting..."

Perhaps Dumbledore has now recruited most of Hogwarts students to 
fight?
