Two examples from season 1:

In a Michael/Walt flashback Walt looks at a boko with pictures of birds and the bird he's looking at crashes into his window.

Locke teaches him to throw a knife and he perfects it in like 20 seconds.

Yeah, the bird thing is on par with the polar bear thing. However we've since been given evidence that polar bears were on the island as part of the Hanso Foundation's testing. The bird could just be coincidence/misdirection.

The others have referred to Walt as 'very special' which doesn't necessarily mean superhuman powers. Could explain things like why he could pick up throwing a knife so quickly.

I guess that's part of keeping the storyline interesting. Keeping the viewers in constant flux between what opposing theories about what really explains the ongoings of the island.

During season 1 I remember believing much more that Walt must have had some amazing powers. Seems that's been played down. Maybe it will resurface.

Clue's asking about Walt "being where he wasn't supposed to be" was interesting.

Anyways if the show does go very supernatural that just makes it too easy to explain things a la deus ex machina and not keep the viewers theorizing what is really happening.
