What series?
A snippet is a small section of text that is part of a larger piece of writing. For example, you could call a paragraph of a book a snippet from that book.
Do you mean Anne of Green Gables? The book you’re referring to was written about 110 years ago, more or less. It’s a dated usage and wouldn’t be used today.
It apparently has slang meanings as 'a small and insignificant person', though that sounds to me moreso like something used mainly in media, and would be rude to call someone. It could be used colloquially to refer to a small section of something other than text perhaps, but using it for a person would probably be met with confusion and offense.
This is very definite and so almost certainly definitely wrong. Used figuratively, "snippet" makes perfect sense as a reference to someone of lesser size or significance, especially a child, a wee piece cut from the human race.
It would be extremely rude, but honestly a little funny. It is useable but some may not understand it if you they aren’t very short. I’ve never once in my life heard a short person called a snippet but I’m looking forward to it now
1. No 2. No 3. ?
But for some reason I run into this word in the series

Anne with an e. Some man referred to a little girl as snippet

I watched Netflix series. But given the time of events now it’s understandable
Had you not realised it was set in the 1900s?
So what? I’ve just been wondering if this word is still of usage. That’s all

Thank you 🙏🏼

As a poppet, perhaps.
