I never assumed this.  I just assumed it was some direct line to Fate
or something that Trewlawney, through perhaps her Seer bloodlines, had
a gift to do.  Plus, isn't the voice some deep, rough voice?  Not
exactly what I would expect a little old lady great grandmother to
sound like. I also kind of assumed most other prophecy renderings
would occur in similar fashion where the one giving it is almost
possessed with the Sight.
