My idea is that Snape didn't find out about the Secret
Keeper stunt until after Voldemort's downfall. He could have
warned Dumbledore that he thinks Sirius is the spy and that
James shouldn't trust him, without knowing anything specifically
about the Secret Keeper. It would only be after Voldemort's
downfall, when Snape and Dumbledore are comparing notes
trying to figure out what happened, that Snape finds out about the
spell.
