We can't really do this in a way that won't have unwanted consequences before we have epochs. Those are coming sometime soon (work will start in the next few months, at least based on the discussion at the snappy sprint: see the second whiteboard on https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/development-sprint-june-26th-2017/415/39?u=chipaca and possibly https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/when-are-epochs-stepped-upgrades-coming/758?u=chipaca for context), and after that we should be able to do this change (concretely, move from ~/snap to ~/.snap) if we agreed we'd like it to be this way (I think we do) and we agree on how to make the transition (I don't think we have).
