Well, the explanation I heard is that snoring provided protection during sleeping to scare away predators. I don't know the source for this theory, so take it with a grain of salt :)

I heard that too, but it doesn't sound likely. If I was sleeping and there was a predator passing by, I would prefer it didn't notice me... :)

The fact that heavier (and thus more attractive as prey) people are more likely to snore could give credibility to your explanation.
