You are correct; snapshots are photographs and there are different, why you quoted different I don't know, photographs; and the amount a photograph sold for doesn't make it any more or less a photograph.
I guess maybe there could be a language barrier/interpretation thing taking place here. Either way, keep on snapping and enjoy.

Yes - correction - it is the photographer aspiring to make his "photograph" better.
Because all "snapshots" tend to be different, they are individually appealing.
But too often "photographs" are not individually appealing - for example, I have seen hundreds of photographs of the Grand Canyon, to the point where they risk becoming boring - which is a pity for such a magnificent geographical spectacle.
I must say that I aspire to take "photographs" - but like most, "snap" when I feel like it.
I did win a congratulations for "Photograph of the Week" from the Pansasonic Lumix Owners Forum - I think, because it was different, rather than for showing any particular abilities, other than vision.

Clarifications are a wonderful thing.
I hear you on the "Grand Canyon" syndrome. Problem is, everyone takes their photos of popular places from pretty much the same places and perspectives thus making for boring repetative same old, same old. I always look for a different perspective, a different angle, so I'm not contributing to the same old, been there done that.

No. An experienced photographer when shooting what would be considered by an amateur to be quick and spontaneous is, in fact, bringing to bear years of experience in composition and technical study. So when Rosenthal raised his camera in 1945 he was bringing 13 years of experience as a photo journalist to take make compositional and technical decisions that an inexperienced photographer would need much more time to make. What he did was thought out. He just did it very quickly. In this case time is relative and his shot was not quite so quick and spontaneous as to make it a snapshot.

At least one died rather too soon after the war,
just 10 years after. Some of that 10 years spent
behind bars.
"Ira Hayes was dead. He was found on the ground
outside his home in Sacaton, Arizona in the frigid
January temperatures. The coroner ruled that his
death was the result of alcohol poisoning and
exposure. He was just 32 years old."
