OoP: OWLS

I've been thinking about the OWL's a lot (as I was trying to write a 
fanfic set in Fifth Year, but couldn't figure out how they work-
thank goodness fo OoP) and it seems as if some subjects having 2 OWL 
components to them and some don't. I figured out a little list 
(assuming that 12 is the highest possible number of OWL's Hermione 
could get):

Compulsary Subjects= 1 OWL each (altogether 7 possible OWLS)

Electives: Ancient Runes= 2 OWLs
           Arithmancy= 2 OWLs
           Care of Magical Creatures= 1 OWL
           Divination= 2 OWLs
           Muggle Studies= 1 OWL

Therefore Hermione who is taking Ancient Runes, Arithmancy and Care 
of Magical Creatures along with the 7 Compulsary subjects can get 12 
OWLs.

Ron and Harry can get a possible 10 OWLs.

Arithmancy, Ancient Runes and Divination are (I think) proabably 
considered the most difficult of subjects and are also very 
specialised which is why they are 2 OWL subjects.
