Of Caves and Tarot Cards

Everyone has made excellent points about the areas left open to 
speculation in HBP.  Two areas that interest me the most have to do 
with Dumbledore and Trelawney.

The Cave:  What exactly was Dumbledore going through during and 
after drinking that potion?  Is he reliving his past?  Seeing the 
future?  Lost in a morbid fantasy?  And afterward, just what was so 
fitting about the defense used (the potion)?  Is he truly dieing or 
just severely weakened?  

The Tarot Card Predictions: Have we underestimated Sybil?  She was 
right on in her predictions of the lightning struck tower.  She was 
right about The Grim (even if the interpretation was wrong); she was 
right about Voldemort marking someone as his own.  Is there more 
weight to be applied to her fortune telling than meets the eye?

I have a feeling that correctly interpreting these two areas will 
put on the right track in predicting the outcome of book 7.  
Unfortunately, I have no new theories at the moment so I'm curious 
about what everyone else things.

Anyone care to speculate with me?
