Did she foresee the Eighth though?

Talking of which, we never did discuss the last Rising here, but I felt like maybe the prophecy that everyone was all "never mind, it was referring to a past event after all" about, might not actually be about the past after all... or at least describing multiple things at once. The beauty of vague prophecy, I suppose, but still.
