slightly frustrated that even though I have locked a layer, but left it visible, I can still Snap to objects on that locked layer. I left it visible so that I could see it, but locked it so that I couldn't mess around with it. Hoping also that I wouldn't be allowed to snap to it either. Oh well...
Layer 2 is my active drawing layer, but I'm snapping to objects on the layer called DOTS, which I don't want to snap to them...
Not sure there's a fix for this, but just drawing attention to it....

I think for every person that would want to not snap to objects on a locked layer, there's probably another person who would want it to snap.
To take an example, a user will frequently lock the guidelines layer to avoid accidentally moving them, but guidelines are frequently used for snapping too.
The ideal might be to make it a user configurable option, but every extra option substantially increases the number of tests that have to be performed at every software revision. Snapping I imagine is a test that can't easily be automated, so it would involve a lot more work than just the work to implement the option.
