thanks to Rusty

but still want to clarify,

i do know getting snapped at means getting scolded

but do we usually used snapped at if AT is at the end of the sentence, just like my original one??

Snap at is a phrasal verb. The preposition is necessary. To avoid having at at the end of the sentence you could change it to, "...somebody would snap at me." I see no problem with saying it the way you did.

About a dictionary of hyphenated words: I doubt very much that there is one.
