You need to start by reading some of the docs on LVM2.

eg. nothing stops you from mounting a snapshot back onto the same
mountpoint you snaped from.

I understand that, but where I am unsure is how space in the vg relates to this? Will this not require much additional space, what if I need to do this a continued basis?



You make the snapshot with a given size. That size should be large enough to hold all expected _changed_ /or/ _new_ stuff. Whatever is not changed or new, lvm simply points back to the original lv. If you need to add more space to the snapshot, do an lvextend on it.
