bboyminn:

Based on my best quess, I see Harry (and probably Ron) getting 6 OWLs
for sure, and the 7th would hinge on whether he/they did well in
Astronomy, which if you remember, was interupted by the attack on Hagrid.

I suspect Harry could have gotten an additional OWL if he had taken
the time to take the Muggle Studies test. That wouldn't be a
guaranteed pass because it's really not about Muggles, but about
wizard's view of muggles.

So, 6 OWLs most likely, and 8 at the absolute most for Harry, and 6,
possibly 7, for Ron. Not bad, not bad at all. (Assuming one OWL per
subject.)


Fitzov:
Has anyone considered the possibility that Harry fails Defence against the Dark Arts?  I have long held the suspicion that the 'nasty smile playing on Umbridge's lips' as Harry leaves the DADA exam, means that she has just intervened to fail him.  Possibly she placed the examiner under an Imperious curse?
 
If Harry does fail, then I am willing to guess that there is no justice in the Magical World that would enable Harry's mark to be reinstated.  This would entirely mess up his future career as an Auror.
 
Any thoughts.
