Agreed. My little one and I both said the same thing at the same time at the end. "Harry sucks at being a wizard!"

FWIW I thought is was a good Harry Potter flick and everyone in the audience seemed to think so too.

The 3 most powerful wizards in the Harry Potter Universe are Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Snape respectively, so he was taking on the 3rd most powerful Wizard in the world (now the second). And Snape can read minds very easily to where he knows the spell they are going to cast before they cast it, so Harry didn't stand much of a chance against Snape. In the book, Harry took down all of the Death Eaters in combat except for Snape, so they kind of pussified Harry down quite a bit.
