That's a really interesting post. Thanks for sharing it.  :)

I think you have a very good point. And I wonder about Trelawney all the time. She's just so shady.  :)  My opinion of her is that she may have been a pawn of Voldemort's. 

I think she must really have some psychic ability, because of her seemingly genuine experience toward the end of PoA (when she referred to Voldemort as "the Dark Lord."). But most of the time, she's nothing better than a quack claiming to have a sixth sense. 

Perhaps Voldemort once channeled her psychic ability for his own benefit, leaving her with an unexplainable connection to him, but also leaving her without an ability to command her psychic power of her own free will ever again. 

If he used Trelawney for divination of his own during his reign, maybe she was very accurate then and very informed about the subject. But after Voldemort was done with her, she was left without charge of her ability, except for little random spurts of psychic energy that can only be related to Voldemort himself.

That would explain why she usually uses the "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named," that the most fearful use, when she's herself, and why she used "the Dark Lord," that the Voldemort followers use, when she was having a true psychic moment.

:)  Just my little idea. Did it make any sense?  :)
