Amy:

Actually, I agree, I didn't put it forth as a defining moment of the
Snape/Harry relationship (at least, I didn't mean to), I was more
responding to the idea that Harry, at least, recognizes that he
learned the spell because he saw Snape use it. He directly
acknowledges that, and IMO, he also acknowledges Snape's prowess at
other spells. This doesn't make him value Snape as a person, though.
