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.

Eh, it's just setting the stuffy room. Besides, Rowling knows better 
than to put yet ANOTHER Animagus into the story. And as far as I 
know, there are no possessing flies or possessing things that can 
turn into flies in Fantastic Beasts (kelpies are aquatic), so I doubt 
anything about the fly. I figure it's just an Oracle of Delphi 
moment, because that's what it's strongly reminiscent of it to me.
