Pippin:
There's a portrait link between the Ministry and the Headmaster's office. I'm sure lots of Ministry/DE news found its way to Dumbledore.   

According to Lupin, every person connected with Harry was questioned by the Death Eaters/Ministry as soon as Voldemort took over. That would certainly  include the Weasley Twins, and George's missing ear would have been obvious.  It wouldn't be hard  to figure out who Snape's victim had been.
