Like in Cinderella and original Snow White. Snow White wasn't a helpless child at the time in this telling, however. Utter is probably right; she may have been ruling for Snow as a Queen Dowager until she gained her majority, but the step mother tie is indeed severed; reffering to her as "step mother" is just easier after the fact than calling her "former step mother".
