I think his contact is his old friend Lucius, who gets favorable
reports about him from Draco. All Snape would have to do is pretend
that he has to stay at Hogwarts to avoid arousing dumbledore's
suspicions and that's the reason he wasn't at the graveyard. Voldemort
probably knows otherwise, having been inside Quirrell's head, but I
doubt that he shares what he knows with anyone, including his
"slippery friend," Lucius. There may be some other explanation, but
it's the only one I can come up with at the moment. Probably neither
fully trusts the other, but I doubt that Lucius suspects Severus of
allying himself with Sirius and the Weasleys against his old school
friends.
