Yes, I agree that having Harry manage an "O" would be the easiest way
out for Rowling. On the other hand, all we have to judge Harry's
skills in Potions is Harry's POV. In other words, if Harry is
constantly comparing is results to Hermione's, then he might be doing
better overall that what he thinks.
In OP, for example, (no book for direct quote, sorry) Harry is angry
because he will be getting a zero for one of his potions, when it
isn't any worse than some of his other class mates. The grade, it
seems, is more due to Snape's usual behaviour than Harry's abilities.
