So, I wonder, do you guys get the sense out of this excerpt that 
Dumbledore was informed about Voldemort's reactions to Diary 
destruction?" <snip>


CH3ed:
Yep. Sounds to me DD talked like he knew for certain what caused LV 
to be furious with Lucius Malfoy (and I inferred that Snape or 
someone else had informed DD that LV had learned of the destruction 
of the diary and was angry with Lucius). The Russian translation 
seems consistent.

Whether Snape thought the diary was only a pensieve or if he knew it 
was a horcrux is undetermined. It seems to me that DD already knew 
LV had horcruxes (but didn't know how many) since CoS since he told 
Harry that the first real evidence that confirmed his suspicion was 
the diary. So if DD had told Snape about the horcruxes he probably 
would have done it before HBP starts.... That is if he really 
trusted Snape as much as he said so to Harry and the OotP members. 

CH3ed :O)
