I don't believe that Voldemort took anyone with him to GH except
Pettigrew, to make sure that Pettigrew was telling the truth about
the location of GH and to sadistically rub it in to James that one of
his closest friends had turned ("the power of Voldemort knows no
limits!").

So Snape would have needed to get the information from Pettigrew if
he was at GH before the destruction, and I don't believe that
Pettigrew gave it to him or that Voldemort would have allowed it to
be given out.  

Snape's Shrieking Shack comments to Harry about his father don't
suggest to me that Snape was present that night.  They sound more
like someone who is angered that he wasn't believed when he brought
word that the Potters' SK had turned traitor.  Snape didn't know the
SK was Pettigrew; like everyone else who knew about the matter, he
assumed it was Sirius.

So I think he went to Dumbledore and James and said "Sirius has
betrayed you" and James didn't believe it at all and DUmbledore
wasn't sure (another reason he didn't lift a finger for Sirius after
he was arrested).
