Sorry for this short post, but I wanted to add a note to what I had
previously written about OWLs.

It is possible to get an OWL in say Potions, and not be eligible for
NEWT level potions. It only takes an 'Acceptable' grade to get an OWL
but it takes an 'Outstanding' to get into NEWT level Potions. 

So, Harry my get an OWL in Potions. By his own estimation, he doesn't
think he did well, but feels he at least managed a Passing grade. Most
of us suspect he did better than he thinks, but certainly didn't make
the 'Outstanding' grade.

Just a note.
