I think it was Snape, in both cases. We don't know when Dumbledore
found out about the knowledge that Voldemort only knew half of the
prophecy - we only know that Snape went to Voldy and told him(when he
was bad). However, when Snape joined Dumbledore(now he is the good
spy), he probably was the one who told DD what he had told Voldemort -
and when Snape told him about the prophecy, that is how DD knew that
Snape didn't tell Voldemort the full prophecy. I don't remember
reading when DD found out exactly when Voldemort knew and what he
knew. I took the spy in both cases to be Snape, and I don't think I
am wrong - IMHO.

at any rate, did DD know at the time of the eavesdropping that Snape 
was a DE?  If he knew that, he probably put 2 & 2 together and 
assumed that Snape would tell Voldy.  

It could be that Snape only told Voldy half the prophecy - I wouldn't
put it past him :)
