Harmat's Predictions in this episode:

Mance Rayder is King north of the Wall
Jon is an outcast here because he was born north of the Wall
Something bad is going to happen with the wolves; they’re going to end up attacking someone, either in the family or someone who’s harming the family
OR the wolves are going to stay with the kids throughout the series like Hedwig
Jon vs Robb is going to be a thing. They might duel. There will be conflict.
Someone’s gonna die soon; maybe Lord Stark will die and that will lead to conflict b/w Jon and Robb
Lord Stark will die because Theon Greyjoy will betray him
Catelyn could be one of Bran’s sisters or his mom or someone from another noble family
OR, since this chapter was from the perspective of a noble family, the next one would be the opposite; Catelyn is a little girl north of the Wall

Harmat's Predictions in this episode:

The Wall = wall b/w South & North
Wildlings are raiding whatever is being protected by the Wall
The Wall is made of ice
Others are something these people have heard of before; they are called the Others because these people don’t know what the Others are
Gared survived cause someone’s gotta survive and he’s the one who seems likely
He’s seen this stuff before, so it won’t be a big deal to him or the Night’s Watch
Winter is long, very long
Bran = cereal = character = Gared’s friend who Gared is going to go see

Harmat's Predictions in this episode:

There will be conflict b/w Ned and the Lannisters
If the Others are still here, so are the Children of the Forest
Antlers signify an evil creature or a bad omen in this culture
King Robert has an ulterior motive for coming to Winterfell; something beyond-the-wall OR he wants something from the Starks (marriage or army)
Not looking forward to meeting the Queen, she will be awful, living up further to her name
The wolves will attack a Lannister brother, causing the Queen to manipulate the King into wreaking havoc
Ned’s gonna die and Catelyn will take over for him and change the world; she will be met with a lot of resistance due to her having Southern values
Daenerys could be one of the Queen’s brothers
The scene will change to something else; Daenerys could be someone beyond-the-wall
