Thank you! I wish I had remembered this myself...and what are the 
written parts of the OWLs about? Probably theory as well.

I think the reason we do not see more emphasis on this in the books is 
that 1) it would be boring for us Muggles, mush more so than reading 
about mishaps in transforming teacups into tortoises, or whatever, and 
2) it is not an enthusiasm of Harry's. Had the books been written from 
Hermione's POV the curriculum might seem to have a lot more emphasis on 
theory...
