If snapshots reside within the confines of the pool, are you saying that dedup

what's contained inside the snapshots? I'm not sure why, but that thought is

Yes, of course. Any block in the pool which came from a filesystem
participating in dedup is a candidate for deduplication. This
includes snapshots. In fact, the block in the snapshot may already
have been deduped before the snapshot was even taken.
