I think you're striking the target perfectly! Yes, Snape does owe
Harry and Neville apologies. Yes, it would be a fine thing for him to
give them (and, in my opinion, would require him to consider his own
actions more clearly than he's done so far). But Harry and Neville
have grown beyond depending on his apologies. His verbal arrows
injured them, but they have recovered from those injuries--not
perfectly, but they're not disabled by Snape's treatment.

Whereas Severus Snape's inner youth has never completely outgrown his
hostility with and resentment toward James, Sirius, and friends.
Ironically, these two former pupils of his have already matured more
than he has in the last 20-odd years.
