Dana:
Could you point out where Harry has the urge to bite Dumbledore more 
then once? There is only one incident of that and that was the night 
LV realised Harry was present in his mind when he possessed Nagini in 
the bite incident with Arthur.

Dana:
Interesting because what DD tells about Snape's actions are taken as 
truth when it is second hand information as well. 

It doesn't matter what Voldemort's subjective experience was because 
he would not have been able to do anything without Harry's scar 
hurting and thus he can't witness things from Harry's POV without 
Harry feeling his presents.

I already answered this but for arguments sake. Snape is the only one 
not present at the DoM that doesn't know when DD arrived or even that 
DD knows things are taking place at the DoM. Snape only knows that DD 
was expected at HQ nothing more and if LV witnessed everything from 
Harry's POV to see the plan had gone sour then he would have known DD 
was there rounding up his DE's and thus nothing LV could have done 
about it.

If LV was there all along then he would not have let it come to what 
actually happened because the moment the Order members arrived he 
would have taken control over the situation. The DE were winning at 
that particular moment and the prophecy wasn't lost, yet. 

So I think it is very unlikely that LV just took a seat and let 
months of planning go to waste if he 1) witnessed everything to 
Harry's eyes 2) was already there. The man is not that patient.
3) his DE's were a bit busy to notify him of the status of events. 

And to me that leaves Snape notifying LV of sending the Order and 
because the DE's hadn't reported back in it was a pretty sure fact 
they messed it up.
