This a very good argument, and I don't know why I didn't think about 
it myself. 112% was one of the reasons I believed that Hermione 
indeed talked to Flitwick, but OTOH I wasn't sure. I kind of thought 
it's possible that Flitwick told her about her grade some other time, 
because his exam was not the last one, and they didn't take it that 
same day. 

But you are right of course - when Ron suggests Hermione should tell 
Flitwick she is worried about some exam question, she doesn't say 
that it wouldn't work and that she already knows her grade. This 
means Hermione talked to Flitwick outside the staff room, and Snape 
meanwhile left, and she didn't know where he went.
