Anyway of password protecting a folder in Snow Leopard or Lion? Just some sensitive files that are for not all eyes work and wondered if there was a feature for this?

Nothing that works properly.

I'd suggest an encrypted sparseimage to store your private files, or putting a password on your user account.

Doesn't protect a folder per se, but creates a password protected mountable virtual volume, into which you can put your folder(s) of sensitive information.
