It is possible that Snape thought Quirrell was just out to get the 
Philosophers (NOT Sorcerers!!!!) stone for himself, and so never said 
anything about Voldie.

It is also possible that Snape figured that Quirrell was in Voldies 
employ, but pretended that he thought Quirrell was after the stone 
for himself, so as not to blow his (Snapes) cover as a double agent.

However, if Snape does make it clear to Quirrell that he suspects him 
of being in the employ of the dark forces, then you are absolutely 
right, Voldie should really hate Snape. Unfortunately, we dont know 
enough of the details of Snape and Quirrells conversations to know, 
something I am sure JKR did on purpose to keep the whole Mystery of 
Snape going.
