This works out fine, except for one thing: James Potter was a Seeker
(like his son Harry) and not a Chaser. In the infamous "Snape's Worst
Memory" scene we see James snatching at a snitch, and always catching
it, the implication being that he was indeed very *very* fast with
his wand, probably faster than Snape. 

Snitch-snatching seems an odd avocation for a Chaser. Besides, I'm
pretty sure that in PS/SS we're told, by means of Minerva McGonegall
or through some other agency, that James Potter was a Seeker of rare
gifts. (Sorry I can't back that up with a quote right at the moment,
but I believe this happens soon after Harry and Draco have their
airborne dogfight over Neville's Remembrall.)
