Julia again:
Yes, Draco thinks that Snape wants glory - but we know it's not 
true, Snape not only doesn't want glory but he doesn't want anybody 
to find out he is helping... The Vow is some kind of a treachery to 
Voldemort and was taken behind his back so I don't think Snape would 
be eager to tell his fellow DEs about it! (They'll probably go 
straight to Voldemort cause nobody likes SS anyway - they 'whisper 
behind his back' as he himslef told Bellatrix)

I don't think that he reported back to Voldemort about the Vow for 
the same reasons I stated above. This was a treachery and Voldemort 
wouldn't like it. And if Snape told him this he would make 
Narcissa's situation even worse...

When Snape turnes out on the tower one of the DE says 'We've got a 
problem Sanpe; the boy doesn't seem able...' IMO the present DEs 
didn't know if Snape knew about the Mission. They probably assumed 
it when he stood in the door. maybe they thought that Voldemort just 
didn't tell them that but as Snape works in Hogwarts they assumed he 
must have been filled in. There wasn't time for them to ask Snape - 
Dumbledore can regain his powers at any moment, OotP can come in any 
second too. IMO they just thought he knew. Voldemort didn't share 
his thoughts and whole plans with DE so they're used to work 
together without knowing about each others orders...
