Snape should have kicked James/Sirius' behinds!!.

Just to tie this all up, maybe we are just talking about one of the 
most talented years that ever passed through Hogwarts! With regard to 
Snape, I guess he was always up against the 'Marauders' as one unit, 
even when he was only fighting James. Psychologically, he would have to 
keep half an eye on the others and that might have diluted his power, 
whereas James' magic may have been enhanced knowing he had the support 
of his friends behind him.
