I think he excels at certain things.  He was able to conjure up an excellent 
patronus even though that is beyond OWLs.  And he also good at other Defense 
Against the Dark Arts. He is getting better at Charms with each book, he 
seems to be competent enouch in herbology. And as for the rest, Prof. Binns 
could put anyone to sleep, Harry performs well with magical creatures (i.e. 
first time he met a hippogriff), and he does well in herbology.  The others 
are Divination with professor Trelawney, and she just seems to spend all of 
their classes predicting Harry's death.  As for Potions, he doesn't stand a 
chance at fairness.
