Okay let me be the devil's advocate here. The reason why people have a hard believing it is that we haven't seen him ten steps ahead of anyone else. Sure he's cryptic and all but besides that, nothing suggest he knows more about what's going on then a headmaster should.

My own opinion on this is that being ahead of your enemy does not make you omnipotent. He said it himself, he has made more mistakes than anybody else on this world.
