 Del replies :
 Actually no, quite the opposite in fact. We know that in *2* 
instances
 only, Harry saw something that was truly happening (the murder of
 Frank Bryce, and the attempted murder on Arthur Weasley). But all 
the rest of the time, every single time Harry was seeing that stupid 
door at the end of the corridor, we knew it was *not* a real event, 
unless we assumed that LV was indeed going to the DoM every night 
and managed to go a little further every night.

Mel:

I agree with Linda on this, becasue I believe the corridor dreams
were different from Harry's actual "visions".  In the corridor he is 
not seeing through Voldemort's eyes as he does when he's having a 
vision.  Nor was he made ill from the MOM dreams.  I think he 
mentions that he may bore to death.

Mel:  I can't really know the answer to this for myself.  I figured 
the vision was fake, but I'm not sure if it was because the book was 
almost over and we knew someone had to die.  This could have meant 
Sirius because he was captured, but that did not seem likely, as it 
would have Harry finding his dead body at the Ministry.  No big 
battle scene or climax to end the book.  I really wish I hadn't 
known about the death prior to reading.
