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.
