Oh, but I never had any doubts that Snape is powerful, smart, etc. I 
mean, why would I dispute it?

It is there in the text, loud and clear. I am doubting that Snape is 
using his powers for good, hehe, but **never** that he is powerful.

I am just taking an issue with discounting all that there is in 
canon about Sirius powers.

And as veteran of Snape v Sirius battles, lol, I do hope that we can 
one day analyse Sirius without bringing in Snape, hehe.

He stands to me quite nicely on his own, not just in relation to 
Snape, even though they are certainly connected.

JMO as usual.
