just an 'Acceptable'.

the time of his practical.  Hence her gloating look. 

If his written paper was not submitted for marking, no matter how  
out of influence Umbridge may now be, there's nothing anyone can do 
about it

Tyler:  That is a truly evil thought.  I like it.

However, Harry was seen to take the exam.  It wasn't just 
Gryffindors in there either, was it?  The OWLs are for all the 5th 
years.  

If Harry's is the only written exam not available, I think the 
question would turn very sharply to Umbridge.  Acing the practical 
with bonus points shows that Harry intended to take the OWL for DADA 
and should have done well.  Umbridge clearly devalued Harry's 
abilities in front of McGonagall in the discussion of what Harry's 
career should be.  Acing his OWL would prove her wrong, giving her 
another motive for sabotage.

Delores will be asked to return the exam, while Snape sits by 
holding a vial of Veritaserum at the ready should she profess 
ignorance.
