Michelle:

I've also thought that the reason he didn't want to go to Pomfrey is 
because he wanted Quirrell to think that he (Snape) was working on 
his own (maybe for his own goals) and not necessarily with 
Dumbledore. 


Me:

I don't think so... Could Quirrell/Voldemort buy that? Snape knows that Quirrellmort wants to steal the Stone, and Dumbledore doesn't? Voldemort would not underestimate Dumbledore like that. Besides, Snape was talking to Quirrell about "loyalties" - if he wanted to show that he wanted the Stone for some other goal rather than to prevent Voldemort from rising, he wouldn't have said that.
