"Assuming that Voldy was with Quirrel all the time the latter was at
Hogwarts, Voldy knows both that Snape tried to bully Quirrel into
switching sides and that Snape tried on several occasions to save
Harry's life."

It is stated, by Quirrell, that Voldemort was with him all the way
through the year. However, there is no reason to assume that Snape
knew this. Infact it is more likely that he did not know Quirrell was
working for Voldemort. If he had known then I assume Snape would have
told Dumbledore.

Snape can therefore say that he was trying to stop Quirrell getting
the stone and that he had no idea, until it was too late, that he was
serving Voldemort. As to the saving of Harry's life, we saw in GOF why
this was needed.

"Voldy probably realizes that Karkaroff was only acting in self
preservation when he spilled the beans, and the Malfoys and Sirius both
seem to agree on who's side he's really on."

I can see the evidence for Sirius knowing, but what evidence is there
for Lucius knowing?
