In Dumbledore's Pensieve, we see Dumbledore vouching for Snape before 
a room full of witches and wizards.  Unless all of the proceedings in 
the room were quashed and not allowed in the wizarding press, and 
everyone there had a spell on them to prevent them telling what 
occurred, the wizarding world knew after that that Snape had been 
spying.  It is possible that Lucius Malfoy was pretending to spy on 
the Death Eaters, and that Snape thinks he's on the same side, but 
Lucius would be more likely to be a double agent, it seems.  
Voldemort certainly seemed to know that Snape was no longer 
supporting him, so there's no reason to assume Malfoy wouldn't know.  
Perhaps Snape is alarmed about Malfoy being at the rebirthing because 
there is an expectation that children of Death Eaters will be brought 
into the fold when they are of age.  His concern would be for Draco, 
in that case.  Of course, it is all just speculation...
