In chapter six, Talons and Tea Leaves, she sees the Grim. 

„My dear", Professor Trelawney´s huge eyed opened dramatically, „you
have the Grim." „My dear boy, it is an omen – the worst omen – of
death!" 

Ron is convinced that the wizard/witch dies who sees the Grim. Indeed
nobody than Trelawney sees the Grim.

Jaanis:

As you say later in your e-mail that it may be so, I think that this
really *is* too farfetched... McGonagall already told after the first
Divination lesson, IIRC, that Trelawney has been predicting at least one
student's death per year and we can see from the books that she sees
accidents and bad omens everywhere.

So, even if she dies in the sixth book, I highly doubt that her seeing
of the Grim etc. is the hint given by Rowling. Why hasn't she died
earlier then? If she sees the Grim and death everywhere and then after
x-teen years dies, and we say - oh, yes, now I see where Rowling was
heading with that... Well, I don't see the relevance anymore. It would
be similar if she dies at age of 70, for example, in an accident, and
you said that we must have known it because of all the clues.
