I agree. Please note, however, that this means that Ron should receive 
an Outstanding (or at least Exceeds Expectatioons) on his Divination 
OWL, when, as we all remember, he was describing his examiner's 
reflection in his crystal ball.
And imagine Ron's face when he learned that he had to continue 
Divination on 6th year ;-).
