Interesting thought, Rose!
I think you are right indeed, but I'll read that part of the book again to form my own opinion (though that is most likely the same as yours).
Now there popped in my head another question related to this.
In the end of LotR, when Frodo sails away, he tells Sam that there he will get lots of children.

This is from The Grey Havens - RotK.
So Frodo was in the end foresighted, for a bit. So was the Ring, if you take it true what Rose says. Does this mean anything? The Ring affects mortals in many ways. Is the foresight of Frodo something he got by wearing and wielding the Ring.
There is no mention of Frodo being foresighted anywhere else, and in (I believe) Rivendell Frodo and Gandalf have a conversation in which Frodo says something with
as far as I can see, and Gandalf replies: 'But you cannot see far.'
Did Frodo have no foresight at all there, or did it grow as he spent more time with the Ring?
And after all some words of Saruman come to me. In
The Scouring of the Shire he says this to Frodo: 'You have grown, Hafling. Yes, you have grown indeed.'
Does this in anyway relate to the things said above?
Well, I must think this over a bit more. It's far too much to come to your mind in a minute or so.
Hope to see some other opinions on this as well,

P.S.: A very interesting thought, Rose!
