Not only at the end of Book 1, I remember there are more "correcting 
Harry" instances in the later books, but I cannot remember where 
exactly they are right now. I always have the impression of it being 
a reoccuring theme. Such as:
US OOTP p.517
"Snape?" said Harry blankly,
"*Professor* Snape, dear," said Mrs. Weasley reprovingly.

The one and only time Harry willingly addressed Snape as "Professor" 
was when he Expelliarmus Lockhart. "Shouldn't have let Professor 
Snape teach us that one."
