Susan:
How do we know that, Carol?  Didn't DD tell Harry at the end of OoP 
that Order members have "more reliable means of communication" than 
fireplaces?  He didn't explain what those means are but left it open 
for a futute revelation.  (Fawkes, for one, seems to have some 
pretty powerful magical abilities; I wonder if he can't provide 
almost instantaneous communication?)  Anyway, if DD & the Order have 
such means, why might not Voldy & his henchmen/women?

Susan:
Totally ignoring the argument at hand (whether Snape did or didn't 
contact Voldy that night), I would argue only that if more efficient 
means of communication exist, as DD said, why would time constraints 
prevent Snape (or any other adult player that night) from sending 
out important communication?  How much time does it take to jot a 
note or send a messenger?  

(For what it's worth, on the argument at hand, I don't think Snape 
did contact Voldy that night, but I do think he might have been able 
to had that been his choice.)
