Hickengruendler:

Mainly because it wasn't Trelawney, but some power that took 
possesion of her. We don't know who or what was speaking through her, 
it can very well turn out to be an evil force. Seeing that JKR 
doesn't like Divination very much, I wouldn't be surprised. But I 
don't think that this is a hint that Sybill is evil. She really 
doesn't seem to know what she's saying while making the prophecies.
