The Marauders generation was actually sick at magic
I am re-reading the Half-Blood Prince and I am in awe of how many spells and ideas Snape was able to come up with while he was in his student years - usefuls spells such as Muffliato, funny ones such as Levicorpus, powerful such as Sectumsempra, all the potions stuff... But other wizards of his generation were no less skillful, and I am talking about Marauders. Not only they learned by themselves how to become Animagi (is that the correct plural?), they created the Marauders' map, which seems too scary to exist - it actually shows everyone's realtime location on a piece of paper, and you can even use it anywhere in the world? How is that even possible and what does it mean for privacy of wizards in general? Could you extend that idea to maps of cities, countries, or the whole world?
Compared to these guys, the Harry Potter's generation looks pretty incompetent. To think of some magical feats that could be classified as top-tier, in the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione comes up with the coins that show the next time when the meeting of the Dumbledore's Army will take place - that's pretty cool, but nowhere near turning-into-animals cool or I-see-your-location cool. Also when Harry takes OWL exams, the ministry person asks him to perform Patronus and is impressed when he achieves it, suggesting Harry is a talented wizard. Sure, Patronus is nice, but would Harry be capable of inventing a new spell? I don't think so.
To give some credit, Harry's generation (and Harry specifically) show great skill when facing Death Eaters and Voldermort, but their magical inventiveness was nowhere near the level of the generation before them.

Snape found out that a student considered him their worst fear. His response? He bullied them harder.
