Darren Replied well but Valky couldn't resist the glaring 
indifference to the true canon in the above statement and needs to 
add!:

James did not attack Snape from behind Tom. :)

"Alright Snivellus?" said James loudly.
Snape reacted so fast it was as though he had been expecting an 
attack: dropping his bag, he plunged his hand inside his robes and 
his wand was halfway into the air when James shouted 'Expelliarmus'.

Clearly James disarmed Snape face to face. 
James true crime here is deciding for himself once he had clinched 
the draw off with Snape that he could toy with his opponent cruelly.

He was boastful and arrogant. But not a coward. Snape is, and I am 
*sure* was then, a dangerous and able opponent.
