Alarm clock IOS 10

The problem I have is the Alarm Clock volume is dependent on the volume settings for the speakers, regardless of the application. If I had music playing on a low volume earlier in the day then my Alarm Clock volume is also now turned down. The Alarm Clock volume should be independent of any other volume setting for the ringer or music/sounds being played through the speakers. It defeats the purpose of having an alarm set for each morning if I have to check it each night to make sure the volume is up loud enough to wake me in the morning. So basic but so frustrating.

And along those lines, if you have snooze turned off, then the button should be "OFF" - no - it's still a microscopic "off" on the bottom of your screen. I'm just not understanding why "SNOOZE" is so gigantic... or why "SNOOZE" takes priority.
