It is possible for situation 1 to be legal and a fumble. The snap may be slow enough or B may have just timed it very well to actually hit the ball during a legal snap without encroaching.
In situation 2 you may want to call an illegal snap when the ball hits the snapper's leg because the outs to keep this from being an illegal snap are that the ball touches a backfield player or the ground before touching a lineman. In this situation the ball hits the snapper's leg prior to touching the ground or a back.
