I believe that the first meeting that caused the pain in Harry's scar 
was because Quirrell (with the almost shapeless V in his turban) was 
standing just behind/next to/nearby Snape. I think that Harry 
*thinks* it was Snape because of Snape's appearance and the vibe that 
he doesn't like Harry, but I think that it was Quirrell/Voldemort 
that caused the pain in Harry's scar.

Also, don't forget that Snape was a spy for Dumbledore...

Good luck, Becky
