A sausage roll could hang out with pies, maybe go to the pub with pies, but would never really be accepted as one of them. It is pastry + savoury filling, so has the same basic ingredients, but is morally quite a different beast :)
I think of a pie as something I'd expect to eat as part of a meal, with mashed potato (or chips), vegetables and gravy. On a plate, at a table. I don't think of pies in a snack context, but I think that might vary from person to person (particularly if you go to football matches, where pies are a common snack food).
If someone offered me a pie as a snack I wouldn't say no, though :)
