Also, won't anyone go back with a time-turner to check Harry's version of events?

Also, won't Snape know?

It seems that death eaters have "anti-time-looping wards" (chap 94), we don't know exactly how they work, nor if they were used in the graveyard, but it could very well be that no time-traveler can check the events that happened on the graveyard.

They were used. Voldemort mentions not completely trusting them.

Edit:

Quote from chapter 113:

I myself will guard this place until six hours have passed, for I do not fully trust the wards I have set; and four of you shall search the surroundings for signs of anything noteworthy.

Would you risk going back to a live LV just to check it out? Take the risk that Harry didn't notice some annoying bystander get dispatched, or just didn't mention it? A lot of those revelations only came out when the subject came up, after all. Using a Pensieve would be much safer.

You assume Snape isn't one of the headless minions on the ground...

Just watch from a distance, using a telescope.

Snape isn't, because he can't apparate from Hogwarts. Amusingly, Snape may interpret his exclusion from the mass sacrifice as a deliberate "kindness" from the Dark Lord.

I assume Harry will have to tell part, though maybe not all, of the truth to the remaining members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Didn't Snape die?
