But wasn't one of the major points of HBP that Voldemort doesn't 
truly have any friends or truly trust anyone? I mean if Voldemort 
didn't trust Snape before Snape killed Dumbledore then I can't see 
his trust increasing after Snape killed Dumbledore. Nor can I see 
Voldemort, in a state of joy over the death of Dumbledore, revealing 
to his new number two DE Snape the location of the remaining 
Horcruxs.
