Possible Discrepancy in PS

You know, sometimes I amaze myself with the stupidity of my questions.
Let's see... should I blame this on my age or the fact that it was 
very late and I had a delinquent juvenile on my mind at the time I 
wrote it?

Of course, Snape knew about the Stone. One of the protections was put 
there by him. I have only read the book and listened to the tapes a 
gazillion times.

Thank you for your patience and your answer. 

Doreen, who must have been zapped with a Memory Charm ... yeah that's 
it!
