We have to contend with the possibility that Dumbledore was only pretending to be deceived, but clearly Voldemort believed that Snape got away with it, and he knows all about Dumbledore's powers of legilimency.

Very interesting question here.  How did Snape get away from the Hog's Head without being Obliviated?  I really can't imagine DD would just let him go with even a portion of the prophecy or that DD would believe Snape's protestation that he didn't hear anyting (if he said that).
