IMO he does know. If you have been following the MAGIC DISHWASHER 
theory, you'll notice one of it's main points is that Dumbledore has 
Snape well informed of everything that's going on. Only that, appart 
from being very nasty and a great potion teacher/master, he's also a 
good actor, and he doesn't want Fudge to know what's really going on 
(not that he needs much help, but you never know).

She's ignored by most of the students. I don't find that hard to 
believe that no-one notices her multiple classes except those really 
close to her (but Harry and Ron are not particularly focused) and 
faculty teachers, who may or may not have been told at the beggining of 
the year (although I'd say they have all been informed, since it's a 
potentially catastrophic object).

We don't know yet what Dumbledore's plans for finishing off Voldemort 
are (see Pip's MAGIC DISHWASHER original theory in post #39662 to read 
why we [Pip and me, and anyone who whishes to join us] know he's got 
such plan), we just know that he has them. I don't think that AK would 
work, though, since he received the full blast of an AK 10 years back 
and that didn't kill him, and it's altoghether possible that the 
protection Harry has against AK has been passed, toghether with his 
blood, to Voldemort. The plan has been thought over for a while in 
Dumbledore's old gang, and I doubt that killing Voldemort is going to 
be as easy as throwing an AK.

What about the rest of the DEs, I hear you ask. Well, I don't think it 
would be that easy to sneak into the graveyard, and if Voldemort had 
noticed anything strange in the surrondings, he wouldn't have called 
his DE. And there could be protections against that sort of plan, too, 
that we don't know about.

To be exact: "the use of [the unforgivable curses: AK, Imperius or 
Cruciatus] against a human being is punished with life sentence in 
Azkaban" (GoF, ch. 14, Sp. Ed., liberal tranlation).

See above: I don't think AK would work, for the same reason you've 
said: it didn't work last time, why would it work this time?

Hope that helps,
