I don't think that incident count as a life debt at all. First, it was Harry (and trio)
who knock Snape out. If Harry didn't do that Snape wouldn't be unconscious and he could
sure fight off those demntors himself just fine. How's that different from throwing
someone into a river and then pull him out 10 mintues later?  Do you consider that a life
debt then?
