IMO, Fudge was a bit too worried about Sirius Black escaping (not so much the escape, but how it would affect his political stance) to pick up on the sly comments of Dumbledore.  Severus, on the other hand, knows.  But there's not much Severus can do, is there?  Off the top of my head, I cannot think of any times when Severus has defied Dumbledore to his face (to his face being the key phrase there).  Fudge is the leader, he probably doesn't get involved with the Time Turner system.  Severus is smart enough to figure it out, but I doubt that he would say anything.  Severus needs Dumbledore too much.
