The Half-Blood Prince
Timeline
Sources
This quote is interesting because it's a great example of Snape's irrational anger, as it pertains to Harry Potter. He lashes out at Harry, first, for his seeming impertinence--using Snape's own spells against him--and then reveals that he is the Half-Blood Prince. He knows that Harry didn't already know he is the Half-Blood Prince, thus the creator of those spells. But, irrationally, he chooses to attack Harry for his audacity, even though Harry is clearly operating on manic instinct alone.
