I add:

Also, during the whole year, Snape didn't know that Quirrell was acting for
Voldemort (or at least he could claim not to have known).  Snape could easily
claim that he thought Quirrell was acting on his own, and was protecting the
Stone from Quirrell so that he could get it himself - for Voldemort, of course.
