I can't say how OWLs were handled back then, but when Harry's year
took them, they were given by members of the Wizarding Examinations
Authority (Prof. Marchbanks, Prof. Tofty, etc.), not by their
professors.  So if the system was the same in the Marauders' day, then
Prof. Flitwick was not a teacher a Hogwarts then at all!
