Fudge should have known? Not necessarily. The Ministry of Magic, as described in the books, seems to be a very large organization with lots of various departments. It's quite plausible that McGonagall and Dumbledore dealt with a certain department - say the Department of Protected Magic or the Department of Time, to list a few possibilites. Fudge seems to be akin to the President - surely he's not aware of everything that goes on in every department. Usually the president is only brought into department matters when something goes wrong - I'd assume it would be the same thing for the MoM.

As for Snape not knowing, I could see him not knowing. McGonagall was the only teacher who gave any indication that she knew about Hermione's time turner, and I'd bet that McGonagall knew about it because she's Dumbledore's second in command. Dumbledore probably asked for her help to get everything set. Also, she's the one who hands out the course schedule to the students, so she might be in charge of student scheduling as well.
