Voldemort's plan was to trick Harry to go to the ministry, but when
Snape showed up Harry was already 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. Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna and about a dozen other people
heard Harry talk to Snape about Padfoot, and sooner or later the Order
would hear about it and wonder why Snape didn't tell them immediately.

Well...what would Snape gain by not tipping off the Order? Harry's death?
Voldemort hearing a prophesy that may or may not bring him to power... or
his downfall? DD's respect?

Snape has a funny way about him. Though I don't think he's out for himslef,
I do think he has his own ideas on how LV should be "dealt" with. Sure,
Snape might know what is going on with the DE's looking for the prophesy but
I think that Snape is acknowledging DD's expertise in the matter of
"dealing" with LV and when DD dies Snape can do things his own way.

But, as we all know... we can never truly trust what Snape is thinking. He
claims to see Tonks' Patronus but never says what it is... did he see it? He
also makes claims to know what's going on between Draco and LV but never
really speaks about what that is with Narcissa and Bellatrix. He's sneaky,
that Snape. ESS!Snape? (Ever so Sneaky?)

I think that Snape's motives change regarding the climate. Umbridge must go,
Harry needs to fight LV... So, Umbridge would get in trouble for her
behavior, but ig LV is to be destroyed then Harry has to do it. I'm sure
Snape is smart enough to figure out that one...
