When we see The Divine talking to Corypheus she at one point states "You of all people?"
This indicates at least a casual (if not formal) familiarity with him?
Does this mean she knew him in some way?
(Sorry if this something in the non-game sources. I am not familiar with everything in those sources)
Well, she knows of Corypheus from Cassandra's report.
I imagine the Divine was thinking it's sort of like the Conclave being disrupted by the Devil.
Which is the role Corypheus and his kind play in the Chantry's lore.
She might have been addressing the Grey Wardens that were surrounding him - Corypheus is clearly Blighted, so she sees the Grey Wardens working alongside what looks like a darkspawn, she has to be wondering 'aren't you supposed to be FIGHTING darkspawn, not serving them?'
Like dgcatanisiri says, I'm pretty sure she is talking to the Wardens that are binding her. She says "you of all people", probably because she was ready for a "worst case scenario" where templars try to kill everyone, or mages try to, or spies, or something... but I think she was really shocked to see the Wardens, who are supposed to sacrifice their lives willingly to protect others, to go dark side.

What worries me is that I am afraid her cryptic remark to Leliana from the fade and her above remark may be connected. For example it turns out that The Divine invited Cory in some naive hope he could help her with the Mages at the conclave and it all went pear shaped.

Given Solas gave Cory his orb plus all of the lieutenants voluntarily serving him, up to and including his own cult?
I can't help but think he has to be a really charming guy when you get to know him.
Oh, I seriously doubt that the Divine had ANY idea of Corypheus's existence. That doesn't seem to fit with anything in the rest of the game, given how no one gives even the slightest indication of Corypheus until he attacks Haven. Likewise, Corypheus is totally the type to bring up the idea of 'the voice of the false god' inviting him to '[his] own ascension to godhood,' so the fact that he doesn't seems to indicate that the Divine had no idea who he was, which is why I'm pretty much entirely convinced she's referring to the Wardens with the 'you of all people' comment.
I mean, future DLC could retcon it, but as it is currently, it doesn't seem to fit the facts that Justinia had even clandestinely invited Corypheus. MAYBE, at most, she invited the Wardens, but she seems unlikely to have known that Corypheus was controlling them.

I think Solas was hoping it would kill him or trap him some way.
I thought "You of all people." Was directed at the Grey Wardens cuz they were helping a darkspawn.
That's how I interpreted it, too. Isn't she looking to her side, at the Wardens there, rather than at Corypheus when she says this?
