James Potter is a BAMF.

successfully became animagi at 15

was said to be the ‘cleverest students in the school’

made a magical map that revealed most of the castles secrets

sirius escaped what was supposed to be an inescapable prison and infiltrated a magical school three (3) times on his own

james defied voldemort three (3) times and escaped alive

sirius was incredibly skilled at non-verbal magic, a skill very difficult to master

harry, who became one of the best quidditch players hogwarts has ever seen, inherited his talent from his father so obviously james was an incredibly talented chaser

james’s reflexes and skill were fast enough to catch a snitch and make it his bitch

sirius was able to stick muggle and magical posters on his wall and not even the wrath of walburga black could remove them

he also charmed his muggle motorcycle so that it could fly etc. 

james’s wand was said to be excellent for transfiguration, so obviously, he was skilled at the subject

james was also so good, voldemort wanted him to join his death eater boy band

Harry flying for the first time - with a little help from his dad.
