Q about Harry's (and James's) invisiblity Cloak

For some reason, while listening to SS and GoF (I no longer read I listen) these questions occured to me and I was wondering what others thought-

How did James's cloak come to be in Albus's possession?  Did James fear what would happen if Voldie got his hands on it, and if he did, why?  Apparently you can buy the cloak somewhere as Barty JR. had one.  So in reality, Voldie could just go out and buy one, or have it made.  Or, did James leave it at Hogwarts?  Assuming he used it much as Harry does, to sneak around, did Dumbledore catch him one day in 7th year and confiscate it till graduation, when, James, deciding he really didn't need it (or Lilly deciding for him) left it in Dumbledore's care till such time he DID need it and later died before he could pick it up?

How does Snape know about the cloak? (GoF)  Did Dumbledore inform the teachers that Harry had it?  Do the teachers know from James's days at Hogwarts? We know that "Moody" can see through them, Hagrid either knew because of Harry (I don't remember if Hagrid had seen it before GoF) or because of "Moody" but what about the rest, how do they know, if they know?
