1-Voldemort/Harry...They are equals after all, even if Harry doesn't show it, or prove it.
2- Dumbledore
3- Snape: He showed his skills in HBP
4- Bellatrix: Beat Sirius and Kingsley
5- Sirius/James/Lily: You never get to see Sirius' skill before Azkaban, nor do you actually see James or Lily's skill, but they were known as the most clever in their year.
6- Minerva: She's 2nd in command of the School for a reason.
7- Remus: Unlike Peter, Sirius and James actually respected his skill.
8- Kingsley: A high ranked Auror and order member.
9- Barty Crouch Jr.: He tricked everyone for almost a year, and got twelve newts...I wish he would have lasted longer then just one book.
10- Grindelwald: He was a dark lord, so I'd doubt he would be weak and still known as a "dark lord"
Surely James would be above Snape, I mean look at how he pwned him in OotP, I mean he completely toyed with him. He was clearly leagues above him. And Bellatrix seems to be the most powerful of all the Death Eaters. My list would be:
1. Voldemort.
2. Dumbledore.
3. Bellatrix Lestrange.
4. James Potter.
5. Severus Snape.
6. Moody.
7. Sirius Black.
8. Kingsley Shacklebolt.
9. Barty Crouch Jr.
10. Tonks.
A rough order IMO
1. Dumbledore
2. Voldemort
3. Grindelwald (from the frog cards)
4. Bellatrix Lestrange
5. Kingsley Shacklebolt
6. Minerva Mcgonagall
7. Professor Flitwick (All the different charms he has done in the background of the books is incredible.)
8. Barty crouch jr
9. Sirius Black
10. Hermione Granger
Also honourable mention goes to Lily Potter for sacrificing herself to save Harry Potter. This has been referred to in the books as incredibly powerful Magic ✅
In no particular order;
Albus Dumbledore
Severus Snape
Sirius Black
Mad-Eye Moody
Remus Lupin
Hermione Granger/Harry Potter - both have awesome potential
Lord Voldemort
Bellatrix Lestrange
Minerva McGonagall
I don't think anyone else is particularly notable for being 'powerful', even though everyone you guys have mentioned are clearly formidable opponents. I just think those I've mentioned above are a cut above the rest 🙂

That's the short teacher i was talking about right?
Hermoine Granger isn't the most powerful. She's a Muggle after all and doesn't have nearly much magical potential as a half-blood or a pureblood.
She's efficent because of her vast knowledge of spells and potions. But it doesn't nearly make her as powerful.
It's been referenced numerous times that Hermoine has difficulty in upper-level Charms.

Hermione is a half-blood but she is one of the best in that year, better than most pure-bloods. She is JK Rowling's way of saying where you come from doesn't matter ✅
