I think it was a tit for tat battle.  It started on the train to Hogwarts the 1st year and escalated from there.

Initially Snape probably had the upper hand over James (we are told Snape came into Hogwarts with a lot of dark magic.)  I would think that over the course of their school life the battle between these two just continued to rise.
