Can you use Avada Kedavra on Voldemort?

Yes, Avada Kedavra could hit Voldemort, but it wouldn't kill him permanently as long as he had Horcruxes; it would only destroy his current physical body, similar to when it rebounded at Godric's Hollow, leaving him a disembodied spirit or causing his soul to cling to his remaining Horcruxes, making it ineffective for true defeat. To kill him for good, all Horcruxes needed to be destroyed first, as the curse requires a living, complete being to end life, not a fragmented soul.

Why didn't Voldemort just use Avada Kedavra on Snape?

Voldemort didn't use Avada Kedavra on Snape because he mistakenly believed Snape was the true master of the Elder Wand and feared the wand would backfire or refuse to work against its owner. By using Nagini to kill Snape, Voldemort hoped to finally claim the wand's allegiance, which he thought would transfer after Snape's death, proving the wand was his. Using the snake also avoided the risk of the Elder Wand disobeying him, as it famously did later when trying to kill Harry.
