Abilities

Dark Arts: His understanding as a student is so great he made multiple hexes and even curses whilst still in school. And his knowledge as an adult, was so great that even Albus came to him on the subject multiple times. Charms: Severus could use Charms without fail. Potions:Schooled the potions book of Hogwarts itself when he was a student. He also created a resistance potion to a curse invented and cast by Voldy Moldy himself, keeping it at bay for an extraordinarily long time, given that it was an extremely powerful curse. He was even able to give private lessons in Occlumency, something not even taught at Hogwarts for it’s difficultly and required knowledge Spell creation : Created numerous powerful spells and while still in school Flight : He has the ability of unsupported flight. An ability which only The Dark Lord himself possesses. Speaks for itself. Love:Severus was the only one in Voldemort’s inner circle who was capable of feeling unconditional love, and he was the only Death Eater who could cast a Patronus, he was protected by his ability to *love* Lily. Occlumency: He joined the death eaters when he was about 19 years old, which meant that he was that good at Occlumency to keep Voldy Moldy from reading his mind. He was 20 when he went to Dumbledore and betrayed Voldemort, he kept Voldemort believing his loyalty for 17/18 years. And Lord Voldemort was considered the most powerful Legilimens in existence. The only people able to recreate this feat are Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore. So he had already perfected Occlumency. Legilimency :Harry states multiple times that it was like Severus could read his mind and during his departure of the astronomy tower he used Legilimency to read Harry’s attempted moves and countered them all before they could be cast. He could even use memory extraction by just using eye contact, no want or incantation needed. Transfiguration :He was seen transfiguring the whirlwind-shaped fire that McGonagall launched at him into a great, black snake.

Abilities

Defense Against The Dark Arts:His encyclopedic understanding of The Dark Arts made so that Sev taught the class at N.E.W.T level to such an effect that even Harry couldn’t help but be enchanted by his knowledge. His knowledge in healing was so great that Dumbledore once quoted to Harry that Severus was more experienced in healing against Dark magic than Poppy Pomfrey was. Keeping Albus alive for over a year whilst cursed, saving Katie Bell from a cursed necklace and healing Draco Malfoy with ease after he was hit by Sectumsempra by Harry (although it should be noted that Severus himself created the spell and the counter-curse so he would have full knowledge and understanding of it). Non-verbal and wandless magic:Severus was adept at using non-verbal spells, from the most basic uses (such as instruction-writing on blackboards and clean ups) to the most advanced (such as combat curses).  Logical thinking:Severus’ logic and deductive reasoning skills were such that he helped protect the Philosopher’s Stone by creating an obstacle, which was based on logic rather than magical skill. Broomstick handling/Quidditch:On top being capable of unsupported flight in his later days, Snape was an able flyer on a broomstick, and sure enough in the rules of Quidditch to take over the position of referee at least once.
