I ask this because of the replies from people saying they couldn't be with someone who snores. If this was something that developed after you'd already been together for a while, would you still consider it a deal breaker?

I have entered relationships with people who snore, and they tend not to last very long if the issue is a severe one (see my last relationship for evidence). The problem with snoring is that I can like someone very much and be able to deal with it (via sleeping on the couch or using earplugs) if we're casually dating, but live together? I'd probably go crazy. So if I find out that someone snores pretty early in the relationship, I actually have to think about whether I want to pursue the relationship further - it really is a question of sanity for me.
As for a problem developing when already in a relationship.. depends on how long the relationship has lasted already, how long it is expected to last, how severe the problem/my reaction actually is, and whether he wants to solve the problem - this could mean seeing a doctor, wearing nasal strips, or even moving into a new apartment/home so we could have separate bedrooms (even though that would be unsatisfying on an emotional closeness level for me, it would keep me sane).
