zgirnius:
It could have, but I do not believe that it did. Snape could not 
count on anyone other than Sirius taking the first message (why would 
Tonks be there on a workday afternoon?), and he could not count on 
Sirius dying, since Snape had no reason to believe Sirius would 
shortly be getting himself killed.

It seems to me that even Albus was unaware of the form taken by 
Snape's Patronus, so I really do not think he used it to send 
messages to anyone.
