I understand what you are saying and surely that's how things would average 
out if each student were expected to make 10 different potions during the  
practical exam. But they aren't. Harry only needs to be outstanding once during 
the Practical portion.  Compare that to Transfigurations or DADA or Charms were 
they are put through a variety of tests.
