But then, WAS Harry doing Outstanding work, or was he doing "passable" work?
I'm not sure how similar the grade weighting system is in Britain to the
United States, but I know that someone who slinks by with D's and C's all
year and pulls a couple of A's out of the air when they're under threat of
failing can't expect to get an A for their final grade - they're usually
thrilled with a C.

I might have misunderstood, but the way Rowling presents the OWL testing, I 
got the idea that nothing else mattered but what you did on that test.  The 
zero's that Snape gave Harry all year have no affect on his OWL result.  There is 
no averaging other grades, etc.  The O.W.L results is what it is, period.
