Potioncat: 
I don't think there will be a high pass rate for DADA this year. Harry 
only instructed a small number of 5th years. The previous year Crouch!
Moody taught all 5th years and the previous year Lupin taught all 5th 
years. So I would think we would see a trend of rising scores over this 
3 year period: first in Lupin's year, higher in Crouch!Moody's year 
(they had 2 good teachers in a row) and possibly an actual drop in 
this  year, with a small number of students scoring exceptionally high.
(Those who had Lupin, C!M and Harry.) Although keep in mind, the DA may 
have done much better in the practical portion than in the theory 
portion of the test.
