I noticed this. too. My only conclusion is that Fred and George are pretty damned bright. 
They're good at all their subjects, they have to be - and that includes Potions - to be able 
to produce all those joke shop goodies. The only reason they didn't do well in their OWLs 
was because they were spending all their time developing their line of joke shop items 
and, while they did do some last-minute study (see POA), they really don't care much 
about results.

 Remember, they've been compared to that other pair of trouble-makers, James and Sirius, 
and they were said to be the brightest kids in the school. :-)
