How do I force it to snap to the CENTER of the line without being blown up on it a kajillian percent? If I draw a one point line and drag it to a guide it snaps to either side of the guide.

The more you zoom on the page, the more the increment is precise and becomes, for instance with mm, half a mm. With the Alt key down, you place only a guide visible at the zoom level and + you were when you placed the guide.

By the way, this is also the way to create guides in both direction in one step.
