Pippin:
If Snape has some instantaneous and undetectable method of 
communicating with Voldemort, then any Death Eater might have one.
Bella could have called on her master for help as she was escaping.
Would she not expect a reward for luring Harry away from Dumbledore
and allowing Voldemort to recover the prophecy after all? 

But actually there is an easier way to account for Voldemort's 
appearance. According to Snape,   Voldemort is not able 
to hear what  Harry is thinking when he's awake (if  his mind is
not being opened by another legilimens) because of the spells
of protection on Hogwarts. That would mean Voldemort might overhear 
Harry's thoughts elsewhere -- at the Ministry, for example, where
special precautions have not been taken because no one believes
Voldemort has returned. Voldemort could eavesdrop on the battle
through Harry's mind but would not know that the prophecy had 
been lost until Harry explicitly thought about it.

Pippin:
How would Voldemort know that Bode had ever reached the
prophecy to be damaged by it? He could have been damaged by
something around it.
