That's what I thought until last week, when I collected quotes from
OoP for my post about Arthur not dying.Here's where Harry and the
Weasley kids portkey to Sirius's house:

<<Harry felt a powerful jerk behind his navel, the ground vanished
from beneath his feet, his hand was glued to the kettle; he was
banging into the others as they all sped forwards in a swirl of
colours and a rush of wind, the kettle pulling them onwards . . .
until his feet hit the ground so hard his knees buckled, the kettle
clattered to the ground, and somewhere close at hand a voice said:

'Back again, the blood-traitor brats. Is it true their father's dying?'

'OUT!' roared a second voice. >>

Sirius shouting 'OUT!' was Kreachy's opportunity to go on a long visit
to Narcissa. Kreachy knew that Arthur had been injured; he must have
heard that from Phineas Nigellus's portrait alerting Sirius; he coud
tell Narcissa that DD's side knew that Arthur had been injured very
soon after it happened. 

Phineas Nigellus had heard everything Harry told DD, and Kreachy could
overhear as much of it as Phineas Nigellus told Sirius, which might
include that DD knew because Harry had lived it in his own head; he
may well have been more communicative (tho' just as snotty) to Sirius,
his last descendent and an alleged adult, than he was to Harry.

It may be that LV *never* felt Harry sharing his mind, any more than
he ever felt the destruction of his Horcruxes. It may be that he
learned of Harry sharing his mind only because Kreachy told Narcissa
and Narcissa told LV.
