And me:
I too thought that what Ron had seen in the mirror might now be 
coming true for him. Ron seems to be quite strong with predictive 
things generally; his throw-away comments re divination, dreams, etc, 
and in his case, perhaps his mind or divinitive skills influenced the 
Mirror to show him a possible future?

And of course what Harry saw *will* come true, maybe at the end of 
book 7 if Harry dies as part of the series' resolution but certainly 
when he eventually does die, whenever that is, he is going to meet 
his dead family at last (ref: veil in OoP).

why somebody within the Ministry ordered a pair of Dementors into 
that alleyway on the second of August."
