I completely disagree. Harry doesn't owe Snape. If anything Snape 
could have saved him and didn't. He could have let Harry know he'd 
gotten his message. A simple "I've told you repeatedly I don't need 
you to talk like your stupid Zonko's parchment" would have been 
enough. Did he really think Harry wouldn't take matter into his own 
hands if he thought the adults weren't doing anything to solve the 
problem? After 5 years of Harry's acting first and thinking later? 
As usual, Snape wanted to put Harry in his place and was too eager 
to hinder Potter to think it through to its most dire consequences. 

Snape wants Harry to be grateful to him (remember his "you should be 
thanking me on bended knees") and refuses to acknowledge Harry's 
hero complex. And Sirius died because of this. No wander Harry lays 
Sirius' death at his doorstep.
