Any ideas?

Don't approach the assistant, approach the professor. The assistant will just blow you off because they generally don't have enough experience to understand the value of humility.
In any case, approach the conversation like this:
"I'd like to discuss the garades I've received. I think there are some inconsistencies and here is why..."
Be prepared with specific examples and evidence or you will be ignored.
