I'm using RH 2020.7.46 on a Win10 machine.
Is it possible to change the formatting of snippets? I reuse a lot of content and snippets could be VERY helpful if I could change their format. For example, it'd be great to use a snippet in regular body text:
A standard scenario is a collection of questions, message templates, and sites/site roles tied to a customizable button that, when selected, initiates a series of simultaneous notifications to separate audiences.
But then also use it in a bulleted list:
Or even just an indented paragraph vs. a standard paragraph.
Is that possible?

My understanding with snippets is that you have to apply the style you want them to use inside the snippet (& not where you use it). So in your case there, you would have to set it up twice.

But see Peter's site on the topic - https://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh_tour/rh2020/authoring/snippets.htm

OK. I was afraid of that. It'd be so helpful to be able to save unformatted text as a snippet and format it inline.

Check that link - it might be possible now.

It's possible to use a snippet containing one or multiple paragraphs in a list as well as in a standalone paragraph. You just drag it into a blank list item.
It could get a bit whacky if you have complex formatting such as other lists in the snippet, but I've never tried that. And if you have top/bottom margins or padding on the p tag you might get some odd spacing issues - you might need to tweak your stylesheet to account for that.
