Me:
That sounds reasonable to me. If Snape had been spying for DD nobody should
know for reasons you already said. But further on he couldn't say who was
the one that was the traitor within the Order for (as Karkaroff says in the
pesive scene in GoF) LV is makes sure not all the DE know each other by the
name (and also by the sight at each other for they're wearing stuff that
look so much like a special clan to me...).
That could explain why Snape could only tell DD that there is a spy within
the own rows....
