 Well, I've been doing a bit of research since reading
Grindieloe's Mars connection question (HPFGU's Message
4, digest 2595).  It's a good question too, something
like this has just as much connection to the rest of
the story as anything else. Two mentions of the same
thing sends us all off doesn't it? :)
 JKR has researched the subjects used in the books
extremely well to say the least, perhaps mentioning
these to mars incidences is just part of her fleshing
out the realness of the text. Centaurs observe the
stars to understand what's around them and remain
neutral despite their knowledge.Mars is a war planet,
and its brightness as observed by the centaurs may
mean that confict or battle is coming up-this thought
is echoed in the Harry Potter Lexicon.
 
 When Trelawney says Mars is being 'interesting' she
may be picking up on the battle vibe, because she
knows as well that Mars is a war planet. Seeing as how
Harry's scar was burning at that time (from his
prophetic dream-which i'll go into in a minute), this
could actually be an acurate prediction (I think
Trelawney is more than she's given credit for by the
way!). 

I find it interesting that the characters view a
centaurs talent for reading the planets is taken more
seriously than Trelawneys, especially by Hermione who
regards all that sort of thing as rubbish. But then,
she studies Ancient Runes, so this attitude might be
relative-she doesn't like Trelawney because she said
books won't get heranywhere.Another person who isn't
 keen on Trelawney is McGonnagall,who Hermione seems
quite *close* to- why else would McGonnagal give her a
time-turner?(Now there's a connection to keep all the
Ron/Dumbledore and Hermione/Minerva theorists happy!

Now about Harry's dream(s). Most of them seem to be
either prophetic or memories, but Harry's dream in
Divination class seems to be neither- it's kind of a
window into what's happing at that time (I really hope
I'm remembering this time-line acurately-I don't have
the book with me).  
 Harry rides on the back of an Eagle Owl in the dream,
and the only person we know of who has an eagle owl is
Draco Malfoy. Thanks to his ride on the owl, Harry is
able to see what Voldemort is up to while remaining
unseen. I assume the owl is the Malfoy family's rather
than Draco's alone, as it brings his packages from his
mother. I've therefore come to this conclusion-the
Malfoy family member who sent the owl to 'deliver'
Harry to the Riddle house is the same person who sent
Dobby to warn Harry at the start of CoS(I don't
believe the whole it-was-a-joke-from-Malfoy tag).
I wish I could go into this more but I really like to
have canon with me when I speculate!:)
However, something in my brain tells me that Percy's
owl Hermes is an eagle owl too, but that might just be
me tapping into my Percy-but-not-as-we-know-him pet
theory! 
Finally, I'm not going to say anything about this,
just that in the name of broad research, you might
find something 'useful'. You might also find something
paranoid/conspiritous.(And before the Christians on
this group get offended, I'll just say that I think
Jesus is ace, and religions are great-but we all get a
bit caried away sometimes....
