I think it is quite clear cut. Maybe that comes from my experience of building websites.
To me, Professional means you make your living from it. Semi-pro, you make some money but don't do it as a 'day job'. Amateur is doing it for fun, but not to make money.
Freelance has different meanings to me. I would say there's a difference between a freelance photographer and a professional photographer. Both are classed a professional, but a freelancer would work for themselves and have to try to bid for photography work, where as a non-freelancer would work for a company.
The distinction of freelance I suppose does make sense to me. I've built some websites. The jobs I've had, have come through word of mouth. But it's not my main job, and I don't go actively looking for web design work. So I'm not a freelancer. But I have been paid for some of the sites I've made.
