Can you make snowballs deal damage using command blocks?
I was wondering if it was possible to make snowballs deal damage to players and mobs, using command blocks?
I'm playing Minecraft 1.7.10

I think not, but in 1.8 you can beacause of replace. Detect if a player is in 0.1 block range of the player, then replace the snowball with an arrow or other things. You can do cool things like detect if a snowball is in range of a gold block, put a diamond on the gold block, or you could do this but with an egg that has an 0% chance of hatching a chicken.
Anyway, you can do some similar but cooler things using bukkit. either update to 1.8(out now) or use bukkit. I recommend using bukkit.

How do you make snowballs do damage commands?
Although snowballs do not deal damage specifically to players, they do wear down armor durability, unless it has unbreaking. Like arrows, chicken eggs, fire charges, and spawn eggs, snowballs can be fired from dispensers, however, they do not collide with the player.Can you make snowballs do damage in Minecraft?
