Lol, I totally agree. The first thought that came to my mind when 
reading the books is the Slytherins are getting it pretty rough. The 
OWLs are externally marked exams, are they not. The Slytherin 
students are going to find it difficult doing well in these exams 
after years of being babied and spoilt by Severus. It constantly 
happens in real life. For example the transitioning between high 
school and University. Some private and Catholic schools spoil and 
hand feed their students information. Sure, they get stellar marks 
on their final exams, but once they reach University where the 
lecturers don't care, they are lost. Once they reach University and 
are now treated like an adult, you are expected to do your own 
research, it's your responsibility to do work at home, it's your 
responsibility to ensure you understand everything after each 
lecture. Half of these people drop out in the first year.
 
Do you actually know anyone who went to a private school?  Or are you just saying this?  I mean in my experienc, I went to a Catholic school my entire life it's exactly the opposite.  We were never spoon fed anything.  I had to do all my research, all my work.  I graduated high school with a 2.2, I graduated college with at 3.9?  Sounds to me like I learned something from my earlier education.  And I do not know ONE person that I went to school with that dropped out, some were lost at first but the truth of it is so were a lot of other freshman.
