On page 51 it mentions Violet wanting to switch to her left hand, while she was carrying the putenesca sauce because it was heavy and it hurt her right hand. But she was afraid that she might spill it and enrage Count Olaf.
Its not really much but I think it might be a forshadowing to her switching to her left hand in TMM.

Also it mentions on page 18. It talks about Fickle Fountain and how it spats out water. And it talks about the Royal Gardens and how they are now just a pile of dirt, but we know that the Royal Gardens were destroyed by fire. So it talks about Water and fire on the same page, could it be VFD related?
This all may be pure coincidence, but I dont know there is something fishy about to me.
Discuss!

Um, when does Violet switch to her left hand?
And I thought the whole sauce thing was to make sure readers were fully fully aware she was right handed, so they could help think out the plot of stopping the marriage themselves.

I noticed the ladle thing as well. If memory serves, it was in the scene where she was serving the sauce to Olaf's troupe. Handler likes foreshadowing; he employs it quite often, sometimes in excess.
Did it state in the beginning that Violet was right-handed?
Edit: From pg 2: "Like most 14-year-olds, she was right-handed."
While I'm here, let me verify that the left hand/ladle thing is indeed on page 51.

By TMM I meant the Marvelous Marriage, not the Miserable Mill sorry.
And as for the royal gardens thing its not a theory just a intersting thing that popped out at me.

Yeah, I think it says about three or four times in TBB that Violet is right-handed before the marriage. It's amazing how you can overlook that so easily to first time you read the book...

I like the Royal Gardens theory. This isn't really relevant to your theory, but didn't it say something in The Grim Grotto about Jacques being the one who figured out who started the fire there? Yeah, Widdershins said that it was Jacques who proved that the Royal Gardens fire was arson, although Jacques' verdict was somewhat different to what the Official Fire Department found.

Yeah, i think the whole left hand thing might have been forshadowing it.

Yes, the fountain contained the survivor of the fire (Mrs. Baudelaire, presumedly. Or some random) and the Royal Gardens where burnt to conceil the theft of a dangerous plant. I think.
