Hi Rob,
It's been a while! My Prof Snape outfit is starting to show it's age and we were already considering redoing at least the cassock, and low and behold what happened to be at the HP Celebration this past weekend? And without the costume police. I took probably 50 pictures, but here are some of the highlights:
I used a 2-3/32" x 3.375" card as reference. I pulled PNG files into AutoCAD, scaled the images and came up with the following:

The 12 buttons down the front are almost exactly 0.75"

The collar is 2-1/2" tall.

The "lapel" on the cape 2-3/8" wide.

The seam where the front and rear yolk meet is 3-3/8" wide.
Other observations:

This is the "bat wing" sleeve on the cape which does reach the floor and it's seamed up the back. Silly me - I made the "wings" in one piece.:$

This is a close up of the double stitching on the upper part of the "lapel".

Here's the rear yolk and the gathering of the cape body.

A close up showing what looks like hand stitching at the top of each gather - may be it's pleated?

The pants leg is bunched up (I noticed this in the movie also). Also, where the cuff meets the shoe, it is actually slightly pointed. I may have a better picture of that.

This shows the ascot material and the cassock really is dark dark indigo midnight blue - not black.
I wanted to lift the cape to get a look at the "tails" of the cassock for width and seaming details, but I also didn't want to get tossed out of the park!
And my other Prof Snape related
costume can be seen here: It does share the same wig!
