I found it better to not think of the snatch as a swing, but almost as ripping the bell from between my legs to overhead. But not way back behind my legs like a swing - but as if I was going to put it down just behind my feet - if that makes sense.

This is pretty much what I do/how I think about it. I think I get why the "snatch is a swing that ends up overhead" thing came about, but at the same time I don't think it's true. If the KB is projected too far forward (as it would be in the swing), as Dan mentioned, it's gonna be loopy and bang into your forearm at the top, especially if you're using a remotely heavy bell.
