and members of staff (McGonagall)  realise it. I suspect that  she  knows it
too, hence her infrequent appearances at the staff dining table. She only
has the job because DD wants to keep an eye on her.

I think that Trelawney does see what is happening but interprets it wrong. 
Take the fact that she constantly saw the Grim in POA when dealing with Harry. 
She interprets it as a bad omen, but as we find out later, Sirius is a black 
dog and in OOTP he comes from Grimmauld place. Her seeing this black dog around 
Harry is correct, but wrong about it being a bad omen.
