In GoF, chap. 1, Voldemort boasts to Frank Bryce that he can *always* 
tell when someone is lying to him. In Chap. 24 of OOP, as the 
Occlumency lessons begin, Snape tells Harry:

"The Dark Lord, for instance, *almost always* knows when somebody is 
lying to him. Only those skilled at Occlumency are able to shut down 
those feelings and memories that contradict the lie, and so can utter 
falsehoods in his presence without detection."

(Asterisks added)

Reading between the lines, Snape is saying that he can lie to 
Voldemort and get away with it.
