This HAS been brought up-- I am wondering if I even read it in 
something like Galadriel's Unofficial Guide when browsing in the 
bookstore, or just on this list.  I think there were some variations 
in interpretations- the fight being not the task but the cold war 
between Harry and Ron, for instance- but overall it DID sound like 
gentle foreshadowing.  Moreover, if Ron was doing the better 
predicting  (Check Is Ron a Seer? threads) then Harry doesn't have to 
get everything right (like his decapitation... hm, makes me note the 
headless hats and headless hunt...)
