Yeah, and how about the fact she can't "see" that Ron and Harry are 
faking their homework all year?  She is way into the melodrama.  Can 
you imagine if Harry predicted, "Well, I'm going to be given a 
Firebolt for Christmas, and then I'll learn how to cast a mighty 
Patronus, and that Grim is really my godfather; I'm going to find out 
he's an animagus.  She never would have believed him.

What I find so greatly amusing about the stuff with Trelawney is the 
side it brings out in McGonagall.  As a matter of fact, it shows up a 
nice similarity between Hermione and McGonagall.  It makes me think 
Hermione is very fortunate to have her as Head of House.
