Me now:
I may need to reread my OoP, but I thought it was stated that what 
Harry was seeing was OWLS, it was the great hall and the tables were 
set up the same as they later were for his OWLS. Unless the rules 
have change since James et. all where in school OWLS were clearly 
taken the whole year at a time regardless of house (Harry was called 
with Pansy Parkinson and both Patil girls). That would make sense 
because they are proctored by someone from the Ministry so you 
wouldn't want to waste there time. So if Flitwick was proctoring he 
was not a teacher at that time but working for the ministry. Of 
course the current lady proctor said she had given Dumbledore his 
OWLS (WOW! she's old) so where was she?
