Snape Helps Harry, but doesn't save his life as James does. Harry 
falls off his broom in PoA and gets a bit of Dementorization and he 
lives, I think Dumbledore saves him or something. There hasn't been 
a "grab my hand harry" or "NnnnnOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! TAKE ME 
VOLDERMORT" moment. Also perhaps this life debt theory means it 
doesn't matter how often you safe a life its an eternal debt.
