There is a common misconception that James Potter is more powerful than Snape, or at least a better duelist. This is false.
The Misconception stems from the following argument:
When at Hogwarts, James would bully Snape and beat him at Duels and humiliate him in front of everyone.
This is not a good argument. James attacked Snape by surprise and James had three friends backing him up. In the words of Snape
"Coward, did you call me Potter? Your father would never attack me unless it was four on one, what would you call him, I wonder?" (Rowling, 603)
Yes James Potter is a coward. For those who say that he is brave because he gave up his life to protect his wife and son, that was a momentary quick death. Snape suffered through years of hardship and scorn in order to protect the wizarding world.
Snape in his prime is only below Dumbledore and Voldemort. Snape has been said to be a master duelist, knowing all sorts of defensive and Dark magic. Furthermore he was a master of Legilimancy and Occlumency.
By Feats, and Hype and objective analysis of skills, Snape is better than James.
Snape is also an amazingly created character, the best in the Harry Potter series.
Snape is the bravest character, as stated by Harry himself.
