Hannah: I don't think Snape could have been in the graveyard that
night, simply because he can't disapparate/ apparate from Hogwarts.
He wouldn't have had time to get out of the grounds without being
noticed, and to get back so fast afterwards. His absence ties in
with LV's comments about the missing DE's, and DD apparently asking
him if he's prepared to return to spying and wishing him luck later
that evening.
I'm guessing either Crouch!Moody mentioned it in the staffroom (it
would be in character for Moody) or that DD found out somehow (he
supposedly knows everything that goes on, and keeps an especially
close eye on Harry), and gave Snape this information when he asked
him to teach Harry occlumency.
As for Crouch!Moody not telling LV, I doubt they had a lot of
contact, they'd have had to be pretty careful, being right under
DD's nose. When they got in touch, they probably discussed the
details of the plan and not much else. I doubt Crouch considered it
even relevant to LV that Potter could resist the curse.
