 The thing that really separates prog from any other form of music is its use of harmony, modality, scales, and other tonal aspects. Prog utilizes these things in a way classical music does not, hence separating the two genres.

well I don't want to put the rain over you, but classical music actually comprises all the "things" said completely, plus so much better. "we" even have the discipline of harmony.  however it's best to say that all music contains its harmony, its modality, its scales and its tonal aspects (except those who just bash music, or mock those "things). they are after all, "things" of music...

otherwise, an argument upon which I comfortably agree. 

 I apologise, I wasn't trying to say that classical music doesn't make use of tonal aspects. What I meant was that it uses tonality in a way which is different from the way prog uses it. For example, you won't hear much Locrian Mode in classical music. Hopefully that clarifies things.

yes,differentiation clarifies.
