Joe: James was an accomplished athlete while Snape's description suits someone who does not get a significant amount of exercise and spends a great deal of time indoors. In general physical condition is everything in a fist fight unless there is a huge size/strength differential. I'm not sure why it is import at all but I have to agree in a physical contest James would have most like stomped
Snape.

Joe: But we do, well at least we have a hint. I highly doubt that Snape was the first person to use a beazor as a poison cure but it was written in the book.
   
I'm not saying that Snape didn't invent them all. I'm just saying that reference points written in the magin in a textbook shouldn't automatically be assumed to have been invented by the person who's had writting its in.
   
Also I can't remember, does it say for certain that it IS Snape's handwritting? Part of me thinks Hermione's Eileen Prince(his Mum) discovery is at play here. By that I mean that I think his Mum invented or wrote a lot of what is in the text. Just a feeling I suppose.
