Ok This was a match about their adult versions. I apologize I didn,t make that clear. I was just clarifying and well ranting a bit that Kid or Hogwarts Snape was not that weaker than James as he always even in the books had another person with him to help him and took him by surprise at certain times.
Like did you see the quote above Snape still hurt James despite his disadvantageous position. Also he still knew more hexes and jinxes and other dark art stuff(don,t know the amount it is a overlooked point that people don,t make) Lily dilikes that so Snape probably didn,t study too deep into it or didn,t use them infront of her.
It is more likely that after Snape had that fight with Lily where they stopped being friends that Snapes delve further into the darkarts. There is some things to support this first of all the Half Blood Prince Book is an indication as it was made in his fifth year and also he later joined Voldemort side with the purebloods in the first war without being a double agent to anyone. So he would have obviously gotten closer to them after Lily left and learned more stuff.
Also killers10333 James wasn,t better than him at potions or intellectually and Snape was a competent duelist considering he still struck james when he was caught off guard and was levitating in the air. Also if James was better at him in everyway than why did he bring Severus along with him or always had someone to back him up and why did he have to catch him off guard.
I am ranting a bit here, but my point is since we don,t know that much about each characters Hogwarts year skill level you can,t really deduce that James was simply better then Snape at everything when the evidence does not point towards it.
Heck during that clip scene with James with Sirus catching Snapes off guard and Snapes still attacking James while suspended in the air is evidence that at that time they were closely relative to eachother. Not saying which is stronger or which is not , but they were close to each other.
This is also supported by kid year 2 Snapes(cause he looks that old) states that he will get his revenge confidently. So yeah evidence points towards them at that time being close to equals with each other.
Later years is essentially featless since all we know is Snape half blood prince book and more darkarts from logical speculation and implied stuff. With James learning to become aAnimgus
Anyway the fight is versus adult James vs Deadly Hallow Snapes. Because at least we have implied feats on his part.
Also state your knowledge source. Have you read the books or the movies. Since we know a lot more of James capabilities in the books and Snape is much more impressive.
Also Deadly Hallows Snapes vs Post prision Sirius. Note that Sirius hasn,t trained for like 10 years or however long he has been stuck there.
