Snape should have kicked James/Sirius' behinds!!

Am just re-reading the Half Blood Prince to my 6 year old son (really 
don't know how I'm going to deal with DD dying!!!!) and something 
occurred to me. Even before he has come of age, Snape is capable (a) of 
improving potions that are laid down in a text book and (b) of creating 
his own curses. If I compare Snape to the current group of students, he 
seems like an enhanced version of Hermione i.e. knows his stuff but can 
even improve upon what he has been taught. It seems to me that James 
and Sirius would need DD-like magical talent to deal with Snape - and 
Sirius couldn't even deal with Bella.

One other point. I also just read the bit where Harry is motionless in 
the Hogwarts express and for a moment hopes that his fame will cause 
people to wonder where he is and then instantly despises himself for 
having such a thought. It's at times like that when you realise what a 
fine human being Harry is!!
