I agree that it probably knows more about us than we do, but I think that is because the hat knows all of our present and all of our past (based on our memories and thoughts of course!) and can see all these facts objectively. We can't really see ourselves completely without bias etc. The thing is, I don't believe the sorting hat can see the future at all, it cannot know the choices we will make, only predict them based on our character. That would be the downfall of the hat because experiences change people and cause them to make decisions no one would've expected...
