 Description   

If a Creeper explodes while you and it are on snow covered blocks, you will only receive 1/2 heart of damage.

On non snow covered blocks, you receive a large amount of damage.

See Grum's comment, closing as working as intended.

@Grum So does that mean that this is not a bug, but intended behavior?

Comment by [Mojang] Grum (Erik Broes) [ 25/Oct/12 ]

The snow tiles explode and that takes 'energy' from the explosion.

I just tried this also, and I experienced the same results.

Tested this out, and it is true. On snow covered blocks, I was about 4 blocks from a Creeper and lost 1/2 heart, but on non covered blocks, lost about 7 hearts on Hard. I think this started in one of the 1.4 snapshots, not sure which, it wasn't in 1.3 I believe...
