Uuh I like your theory very much, although most will argue that he 
only saw a vision of Buckbeak because he guessed.  What people should 
take into consideration is that he did guess, but he guessed 
*correctly*.  It could be that he is developing a skill he's 
inherited, but obviously doesn't know of yet, so JKR is interpreting 
it as such.  JKR's letting some of us think that he isn't a Seer and 
others that he is because her writing of this situation is very 
vague, so therefore we are left in the dust (which is what she loves 
to do).

Greicy, who believes *Harry and Ron* are Seers, poor Hermione she's 
left out again.

PS: Wouldn't it be ironic Hermione is one, too, being that she hates 
Divination. ;)
