I think you're on to something here. For both of these predictions, she
seems to slip into a kind of trance when making the prediction and isn't at
all like her true self. On page 841 (American edition) Harry notes " ...
when Sybil Trelawney spoke, it was note her usual ethereal, mystic, voice,
but in the harsh, hoarse tones Harry had heard her use once before."

My conclusion is that her only real predictions are when she uses "the
harsh, hoarse tones" and the rest is, well, not worth much. I think she's a
real seer, but her gift seldom shows itself.
