    Plus, you may remember that what happened to Neville's parent 
and maybe Neville himself is pretty well known. Everybody knows that 
Neville is maybe even worse that Tonks, and she could see by his 
behaviour that it was right. It doesn't take a genius to guess 
that. Plus, we know that Trelawney always makes predictions, we just 
have heard of the 0.1% that comes true.
