Some people are looking for possible titles out of the passage that 
JK Rowling. Although that may be a possibility, I am not sure that it 
is major plot detail that is being revealed. So I went to MSN and got 
the transcript:

JK says:
During this reading you might get a hint of what might stand in his 
way of becoming an Aura apart from The Ministry's current attitude 
toward to him, he needs a qualification that can be quite difficult 
to get
 so here we go
. 

she reads the session and ONLY the session with McGonagall and 
Umbridge. 

So I see two possible scenarios stemming from this passage
Potions, or DADA!!

Potions because Harry doesn't necessarily come up to par with those. 
Or DADA because Umbridge insisted that Harry's grades were low. She 
also insisted that there was no way that Harry would become an auror!!

I think DADA is more probable because Umbrigde is a hateful women. 
She would have done something to ruin his score. Why else would she 
have been smiling. 

Remember page 715 (american) 
"As Harry passed Umbridge beside the door their eyes met. There was a 
nasty smile playing around her wide, slack mouth, but he did not 
care. Unless he was very much mistaken (and he was not planning on 
saying it to anybody, in case he was), he had just achieved an 
Outstanding O.W.L."
