I don't think this is true.  He clearly states that he was shook up with the duel at MOM and then states that since then he has sustained an injury.  I don't think anyone but Harry knows that he was out looking for Horcruxes.   There is no evidence in the book stating that Snape knew. No one really dared to question or ask DD what he was up to. Snape is a  good potions maker and that is why DD continued to go to him for help.  DD would only say enough and only what he wanted people to know.  Nothing more or less.  I won't judge Snape until book 7, until we have more to go on.  It is truly up in the air when it comes to him.
