Not necessarily, but good grades would make things go more fluidly, bad grades should probably be left unmentioned. I'm not necessarily the best guide, since I just marched into my supervisor's office and asked if he supervises stuff. "Yes", he said, so I came close to him. "Would you... want to do that with me?" I asked, and he asked what i wanted and what grades I had. "I want you... to supervise my thing on group theory, I got 5 from the algebra course" I replied and he told me to read Herstein's book and base my things on that. Later, I marched into my master's thesis supervisor's office, asked if she supervises stuff, received a "yes", told her I want her to supervise my stuff on category theory and she was like "OK let's do it" She didn't ask for my grades because she had taught me directly an knew the 5/5's already.

On the other hand, the thing I wrote to you is pretty similar to what I sent to my current supervisor with the slight difference that instead of listing any courses I had attached an official copy of my certificate, but yeah. It worked. he became my sugar daddy.
