Like Derek said, Banshee's don't predict danger, they predict death. Why would Lydia write Stiles's name on the list unless she knew he was going to die? Which he didn't... and neither did she... This whole Banshee prediction thing seems very flexible to me. In fact i'm pretty sure i could tell someone they would die and when they didn't, just say, 'oh, it was because you did a certain obscure thing that i couldn't have predicted and that event saved you :D '. Lydia is about as good at predicting death as a ouji board and i have no clue why any of the character believe her anymore because if she said, you will die today, they should probably say, 'okay, i'll just stay inside' and everything would be fine.
