If you are using pathogen, you can write your own snippets without polluting the original ones. To do this, add your snippets to ~/.vim/bundle/mysnippets/snippets/*.snippets. FYI, mysnippets can be any name.

Moreover, it's a convention to add a _.snippets file in that directory where you add snippets which should be available everywhere irrespective of the filetype.
