Semblances can be hereditary/similar to relatives. Yes, but Winter said that the Schnee family was special because of their Semblance being hereditary, indicating that this is a rarity.

And we really don't know for sure if the eye glint was actually something related to his Semblance or if it was following that trope where someone gets a glint/sparkle in their eye before doing something awesome or huge. But Chishio, special does not always = rare, especially in a world where you have a literal "4 of a kind" that the one stating special barely knows about...

Even if it does the other obvious answer is that the Schnee semblance is hereditary in it's entirety, rather than the seemingly regular: "you might get a little of this(from your Paternal line), a little of that(from your maternal line), and that right there is wholly your own"... which makes it plenty special.
