Snape's problem in convincing Voldemort of his loyalty isn't that he was late to the Graveyard -- his problem is everything before that. Dumbedore "outed" him as a spy in the Pensieve scene, he's been at Hogwarts for years, and he didn't help QuirrelMort.  Now, I think that with the help of Voldemort's immense ego, some persuasiveness potion, and perhaps some testimony as to Snape's (bad) character by Lucius, all of these problems can be overcome.  But, I don't think that time-traveling back to the Graveyward would help much.

Me:
It wouldn't have helped at all.  In addition to Dumbledore outing him years ago (which occurred after Voldemort fell, so he doesn't necessarily know about that, although I doubt that there is a Death Eater who DOESN'T know), we mustn't forget that Voldemort was possessing Quirrell's body during Harry's first year, and Snape and Quirrell had numerous run-ins.  Voldemort knew, when he was in Quirrell's body, that Snape was on Dumbledore's side and trying to prevent Quirrell from getting the stone.  He was there for every encounter between the two professors, and he was aware (as Quirrell was) that Snape was using a counter-jinx to save Harry during the Quidditch match.  Given this very recent evidence of Snape's loyalties, I don't think his showing up in the graveyard would have convinced Voldemort that Snape had had a change of heart, and he probably would have just killed him on the spot, or put Cruciatus on him, at the very least, to punish him for ever even considering siding with Dumbledore instead of him.
