An Outstanding-graded W.O.M.B.A.T.

- —'Outstanding'-graded W.O.M.B.A.T.[src]
Advancement
While most professors at Hogwarts set their N.E.W.T. classes entrance standards at 'Exceeds Expectations', meaning that the students must acquire such a grade in their O.W.L. in order to continue, Professor Severus Snape had set his Potion standards to 'Outstanding', meaning only the very best can continue.
