Boris, since you asked.. My $.02 worth.... A snapshot is.. A simple photographic recording of a person/place at a point in time. Its meaning/value is mainly sentimental. It implies a picture taken with out much thought as to photographic considerations (composition, exposure, etc) as opposed to a crafted image that has a timeless sense about it and follows photographic conventions (proper exposure, rules of thirds etc) and can stand on its own merits without explanation from the photographer.
