I agree.  I also think that the way Snape bullies, pushes and 
unfairly marks the Gryffindors and most especially, Harry, will 
result in them not having a very accurate gauge of what "Average" 
really is and will result in them being far beyond what they are 
expected to be for OWL level.  I think an Outstanding earned by HArry 
will be a direct result of Snape making him work so damn hard to earn 
the poor/average marks he does.  (Think about it:  Snape doesn't care 
how good he does, he just wants to give Harry a crappy grade, or at 
best, an average grade.  Harry wants to prove Sanpe wrong and 
continually works to improve his Potions grade.  Unfortunately the 
Potions *Grades* don't improve because of Snape, but his 
8abilties* do.  All in thanks to Professor Snape:-)
