colebiancardi:

an addition to my previous post.  

"Why didn't you stop me, then" Malfoy demanded
"I tried, Draco.  Professor Snape has been keeping watch over you on
my orders ---"
"He hasn't been doing your orders, he promised my mother --"
"Of course that is what he would tell  you Draco, but --"
"He's a double agent, you stupid old man, he isn't working for you,
you just think he is!"
"We must agree to differ on that, Draco.  It so happens that I trust
Professor Snape --"

p. 588 HBP, Am Ed Hardcover

I find it hard to believe that Snape would not have told DD anything,
but DD has Snape keeping watch over Draco.  It seems to me that goes
hand-in-hand with reporting back to DD about the going-on's, as DD
told Harry back in "A Sluggish Memory"
