Actually, to use your terms, the "Snow White witch" is 
a Sorceress like Magica, not a Witch like Witch Hazel --
at least when you look at the movie.  In the movie, she 
only does one magical act -- she turns herself into 
the "old crone".  And to do that, she has to perform a 
rather complicated sorcerous/alchemical spell to create 
a potion, then drink the potion she made.

(She also posions the apple, but there is nothing that 
indicates the posion is magical.  And she owns a Magic
Mirror, but there's no indication that she made the
mirror or was powering it with her magic)
