Although Trewlawney is from the WW, we can assume her prophecy to be 
genuine, IMO, by assumptions and comparison with the real world - or 
the myths.

#1 this a generally how prophecies are described - the seer usally 
speaks not in his/her own voice, but in a voice, often described as 
deep, hoarse.

#2 this again is 'normal' for prophecies, as the seers usally have 
their helpers (priests in the case of Delphi) who hear the 'message', 
so it is not lost, as the seers do not recollect them.

#3 this I can not deny ; )

but it brings me to another point, it is in fact DD (JKR 'voice') who 
says that the prophecy was probably genuine  - ' which brings her 
total  up to two'.
