Me again! This is getting to be a habit.

I think you're making the mistake of confusing Astronomy (Sinistra) with
Astrology (all the other frauds).. Throughout  the series there has been
a repeated rubbishing and mistrust of divination in all it's forms, especially
Astrology. Time  and again we are told not to trust it, that faking it in
homework is a reasonable action to  take, that when this is marked, the
ethereal  Sybill obviously can't determine the accuracy of the work done. 
Otherwise Harry and Ron would score zero. She marks for effect only.

By the way, alluding to an earlier post, Pluto is no longer regarded as
a planet by astronomers.
