The SnapSymbol displayed whenever you are working with the edit sketch. The default snap symbol is a blue dot.

The snap agent knows to draw the snap symbol twice, once to get rid of the old symbol and once to draw the symbol at its new location. When setting the symbol, don't forget to set the ISymbol::ROP2 to esriROPNotXOrPen. This setting allows the symbol to erase itself when drawn twice in the same location.
