A spin is normally entered from 1 g flight. A snap roll is entered in accelerated flight, i.e. while pulling some g. I have never needed aileron for a snap roll entry. If you continue to hold the pro spin controls after a snap roll entry, most aircraft will continue into a conventional spin.
Jets and transport aircraft, now that is a different story.
