They never went snooping, my mom occasionally would occasionally come into my room to put clothes away or pick stuff up off the floor or whatever but that was pretty much the extent of it.
She did occasionally do the fairly odd parents "I'm respecting your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority as your parent by coming in anyway" thing, where she'd knock but didn't really wait for a reply before opening the door or just took any sort of "what?" reply she got as an invitation to continue in, but I think that was more of her being on autopilot than any real intention to barge in on me.
I was, by most measures, a pretty good kid and didn't really have anything to hide anyway. I think my parents knew that so they never really bothered to snoop.
And on top of that, my grandmother was the queen of all snoop, and my mom hated that when she was growing up so she didn't want to do that to her own kids.
My grandmother was always the type to just come over uninvited, let herself into the house, and just kind of do whatever the hell she wanted, look at whatever mail we had sitting out on the counter (didn't open it, but if it was already open it I don't think she was above reading it) move stuff around, etc.
I remember one time when I was still living at home I was the only one home, it was the middle of the day and I worked nights so I was asleep. She let herself in and was doing who knows what downstairs, and she accidentally bumped the power button on my Xbox, and couldn't figure out how to turn it back off, so she came into my room and woke me up over it.
