SSSusan:
That's an interesting point....  Somehow I was envisioning her 
helping him in year 6, if necessary, if he did poorly on OWLs. But 
you're right that he had to pass those first to move on.  How close 
to OWL time was the career counseling session wherein MM said this?  
I'm thinking it was getting far into the school year and not far away 
from the exams, but I'm away from books/notes and may be wrong....

I'm also interested in your closing remark that we haven't discussed 
McGonagall enough.  I'm so curious about WHY people think that is!
