Potioncat:
We know Snape spied on LV for DD.  We don't "know" what information 
he gave DD.I copied this from a post upthread, sorry, forgot to 
notice the number but Jen Reese quoted from an old post of Mooseming

it's Potioncat now adding this,
Snape believes Potter was warned about Black but didn't take the 
advice. So Snape believes like everyone else, that Black killed all 
those people and in addition, Snape believes that Potter had been 
warned about Black. Was he the one who warned Potter?  Did Snape warn 
DD?  Oddly enough, Potter may have taken the advice. But of course, 
Snape doesn't know that, at least not before the end of PoA.

I don't think Snape was at GH when LV was there, unless LV did not 
know Snape was there.
