James Adds:

4. Snape had not yet fully developed the spell and the one used was the
strongest version of it he had at the time.

 

Julie:
 I guess it boils down to these three possibilities:
1. The spell Snape used was not Sectumsempra but a lesser spell
that wasn't capable of causing more than minor damage.
2. Snape cast a Sectumsempra, but deliberately controlled it to
cause less damage, because he didn't want to get in trouble, because
he's at heart a humanitarian, or for whatever other reason.
3. Snape cast a Sectumsempra but his magic was impaired by the
Impedimenta spell, thus the resulting spell was very weak.
