I don't think the Death eaters have a clue that Snape betrays them.  
Voldemort may well know (in the Grave yard scene he says the missing people will pay), 
we do not actually know that Snape wasnt there, theres nothing in canon to 
support him being there or not to support him being there.  

Even if Voldemort does know, he is being secretive about who they are, as he 
never mentions any of their names.  Voldemort might not see reason to tell the 
Death eaters about Snape - he knows that he has betrayed them but does he 
know he is working for DD?  I think LV has something special in store for Snape, 
then the time comes. The DEs however, remain to think highly of him ("Lucius 
Malfoy puts you on high regard" Umbridge said something like that).  The DEs 
will accept that he is in Hogwarts with DD because from their point of view, 
they have ally within the enemy.

My thoughts
