Hotkey health potions and health spells and use the spell as much as possible. Only use the potions in an emergency so you can work on increasing your restoration skill. Some followers/bodyguards are useful at higher difficulty levels so buy as many summon spells you can cast and use the services of The Jemane Brothers. You meet them during a quest that you can do at the start of the game and they will remain with you until you complete the quest. They only have basic wait and follow commands but are two very powerful fighters and have decent AI so can follow you in to Oblivion gates. They don't have the option to access their inventory but you can do this with the Active Inventory spell and give them potions, weapons, armour, torches and summon spells which they will use. The only downside is they will use a summon spell regardless of enemy so it's wasted if they use it for a mudcrab. Give followers summon spells sparingly to avoid wasting them.

The OP said he changed his character at the sewer entrance and then had to leave without further actions. Snowball would have been added because Destruction became one of his Major skills though it was not one with his original character, but, if he left immediately, the message would, very likely, not have displayed before he saved to exit.
It is true that some quests give spells, very specific to the quest (messages can easily be missed when this happens, not random (messages can easily be missed when this happens) and the spell books can be found randomly as loot, but, not at the sewer gate.
