Ditto all the above. A fine example for me would be Mrs. Figg.
She was only mentioned on passing and briefly in Book 1. Then there was a off comment made by Harry when he went to the Quidditch World Cup, where he thought the Weasley's tent smelled just like Mrs Figg's home, like cats.
Two comments that seemingly had no significance other than Harry's thoughts or exposition to the horrids of his life with the Dursley. Yet clever fans were able to figure out that Mrs Figg may be involved with the magic community, which we all know by now in Book 5 and Movie 5 that she was send by Dumbledore to watch over him. I had a hunch on this myself without going to any forums at all back then.
Same thing with the intials R.A.B. People took a name that was mentioned in passing and figured it out. Trust me, most people without forums would not have noticed that quickly or easily.
If you are to blame something, blame the net for spreading these theories too far and wide, or fans are too clever for their own good.

Just like the planned killing of dumbledore. Snape's contact with Draco throughout the book, his closeness with Voldemort and Dumbledore, Dumbledore's unyielding trust in him, and the rage with which he met Harry with after being called a murderer right after the killing all lead me to the conclusion that Dumbledore was in on his own death before I was even done with book 6. Rowling's books contain plenty of clues, if you look hard enough for them, it's no surprise that after 6 books of info, people would start to figure out the bigger picture.
