Buy a cheap external hard drive and install Snow Leopard from your DVD on it.

Do you have a clone of 10.6 on an External HD?

If so, then it would be very easy to go back. Just boot from 10.6 on the External HD, erase your Internal HD and Clone 10.6 back.

If not, then it is not going to be easy. You will need to boot from your Snow Leopard Disc and hope it will let you erase and reinstall 10.6. Then recover from Time Machine or whatever backup you have providing that ML has not written over it.
