Priority is about when to fix a bug. It is a function of Development team in consultation with testing team.
Severity is about how critical is the bug for functionality of the system.
eg of severity are enhancement, minor, major, critical
Eg of High Severity Low Priority:
Suppose we have designed 100 Test cases. out of these 100, 25 test cases have a step in description which if executed makes the system unstable. Now this is a high severity (Critical) bug, because when executed our system gets crashed and customer may loose data etc as it is absolutely a valid step to execute. But since we have 75 remaining test cases whcih can be executed before we again concentrate on these 25, it will be high severity and low priority.
Eg of Low severity and High Priority:
Out of the remaining 75 test cases we find a bug in a step for all these 75 test case which has a bug - A minor bug which customer might never notice. This is high priority as we are not able to proceed with testing until the bug is fixed. So it is low severity and high priority
