Sheryl:"Um, this is probably a crackpot theory without any 
credibility, but bear with   me. Has anyone ever explored the 
possibility that Harry is a seer and HE   doesn't know it?"

No, this is not a crackpot theory.  Obviously, *something's* going on 
with Harry.  He has foreseen things and seen things as they were 
happening (clairvoyance).  That sure sounds like he's a Seer.

OTOH, there's another explanation possible.  Harry is bound to 
Voldemort by the part of Voldemort left with Harry after the curse; 
that's why Harry is a Parselmouth, and why he's picked up some of 
Voldemort's qualities.  It could be he only sees things connected 
with Voldemort, who's connected with him.  I wouldn't consider Harry 
a full Seer if that's the case, only a sometime Seer.

Some people have speculated Ron could be a seer.  What if the 
bullfeathers Ron comes up with to placate Trelawney start coming up 
true?  He'd be the opposite of Trelawney - someone who doesn't 
believe a word of what he's saying, but it turns out true.  It would 
be sort of reverse Cassandra complex.
