"IT WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT. THE DARK LORD LIES ALONE AND FRIENDLESS, ABANDONED BY HIS FOLLOWERS. HIS SERVANT HAS BEEN CHAINED THESE TWELVE YEARS. TONIGHT, BEFORE MIDNIGHT... THE SERVANT WILL BREAK FREE AND SET OUT TO REJOIN HIS MASTER. THE DARK LORD WILL RISE AGAIN WITH HIS SERVANTS AID, GREATER AND MORE TERRIBLE THAN EVER HE WAS. TONIGHT... BEFORE MIDNIGHT...THE SERVANT...WILL SET OUT...TO REJOIN...HIS MASTER...."

Professor Trelawney comes through with one of her few correct predictions and doesn't even realize it when she wakes up from her trance. I liked this quote because it makes you think that the servant is Sirius Black, it isn't, and by "chained" she means like in prison which is where Sirius has escaped from but it really means from ownership, Ron's ownership. Scabbers, Ron's longtime useless rat turns out to be Peter Pettigrew, the former best friend of Sirius, Lupin, and Harry's father James. I think this is a really important quote because it leads us to who really betrayed Harry's parents the night they died.
