Voldemort's plan was to trick Harry to go to the ministry, but when
Snape showed up Harry was caught by Umbrage so Snape figured the plan
had failed, it never occurred to him that Harry would manage to escape
and make it all the way to the ministry. With the plan canceled anyway
it couldn't hurt to tell the Order of the Phoenix what Harry said, in
fact he had to if he wanted to remain a spy for Voldemort. Dozens of
people heard Harry talk to Snape about padfoot (and at least 6,
probably more, were not Death Eaters) and sooner or later The Order
would hear about it and wonder why Snape didn't tell them immediately.

Snape is evil
