Trelawney's Best Prediction

On Christmas Day, in the Prisoner of Azkaban, Sybill Trelawney, joined several of her pupils and fellow teachers for Christmas dinner in the castle's Great Hall. She was fearful upon noticing that twelve people were dining in the hall, believing that were she to sit down, the first of the thirteen seated to rise would be the first to die. Fellow professor Minerva McGonagall expressed doubts regarding her fears.

However, if Peter Pettigrew in his Scabbers disguise is counted as a person, there were thirteen people before Trelawney arrived. Since Dumbledore rose from his seat to greet Professor Trelawney, Professor Trelawney's prediction was correct.

In The Order of the Phoenix, thirteen members of the order dined together, and the first to rise was Sirius. Sirius was the first to die of those thirteen people.

After the death of Mad-eye Moody, in The Deathly Hallows, Lupin was the first of 13 to rise and look for the body.

Trelawney's prediction did not just come true once but at least three times.
