Only one Huge Thing stands in the way of Snape's warning the Order
proving he's good: why didn't Voldemort punish him heavily for ruining
the Prophecy mission?

  In response to the above, I know there have been lots of discussions about it, lots of good theories all plausible but there is just one thing - how do you know Voldemort even knew that Snape was the one who tipped off the order? It was never mentioned, not even Bellatrix mentioned it when questioning Snape about everything in HBP and it is very unlikley that the warning from Harry in umbridge's office would ever have got back to Voldemort or have been deciphered by anyone else in that room. For all we know Voldemort assumed the Order found out another way.
