Trelawney's prediction and flies

I've just been listening to PoA on CD today in the car, and noticed that while Harry was waiting for his final exam with Trelawney, he sees/hears a fly buzzing in the window.  Of course, it could be just a regular ordinary fly buzzing in the window.  Or something else?  JKR frequently hides clues in such places, and are frequently missed until reread with further understanding.  Is this just a fly?  Could it have something to do with Trelawney's prediction?  She clearly has no clue that she's said anything, could there have been another presence taking her over?  Using her as a "voice box" to prophecy?  Now that I mention it, I'm wondering if Trelawney was aware of her prediction the first time.  You know, the first true prophecy?  If not, then perhaps nothing she knowingly says is a true prediction.  And then there's that fly . . .. I can't believe I'm getting this worked up over a fly, it just seemed . . . odd.
