One could argue that she should have been wary in setting her sister up with 
Ron for the Yule Ball.  But I think when Trelawney's in her 'teaching' mode 
she just throws things out there and hopes that something sticks.

I don't know whether JKR intends to make Ron a seer or if she just uses him 
to pass along future story hints but I think that Ron's sarcastic 
comments/predictions are the ones that should have attention paid to them.
