Dana: 
Actually according to Lupin, it was DD's own shrewd idea of what LV 
is planning. He doesn't say Snape provided us with valuable 
information on what LV is up to next. There is no reason for Lupin to 
not mention this if it was Snape, that got the Order this 
information. Especially because Harry already knows Snape went back 
to LV and Sirius already mentions Snape is coming there to bring 
reports.

Dana:
This information adds nothing. DD already had a suspision about the 
diary being a horcrux, after the events that happened in CoS. Why 
would knowing, LV was angry about finding out it was destroyed, have 
any additional value to DD. DD already knows it is destroyed, he 
already knows it was LV's and he already knows it is a horcrux. So 
what does it add? That LV has an attachment to his valuebles. DD 
already knows this too as we see LV collect treasures at age 11.
