Quirrell wasn't a Death Eater though. This was made
clearly at the end of Book 4, when in true Scooby Doo
fashion, Voldemort revealed pretty much the entirety
of his attempts to come back before actually beating
Harry completely. Voldemort says that he met Quirrell
when their paths crossed in the forest where V made
his home. He makes no mention that he knew Q
beforehand. He would probably call him a "faithful
Death Eater" for actually finding him, or at least
helping him. He refers to Crouch Jr. as much many
times over. There's also no space in the circle where
Q's space was supposed to be. 

I agree with Crystal that he might have been trying to
get Quirrell to get away from Voldemort as sort of a
been-there-done-that way. Give him a chance to be a
good person. I also do agree with Mary (Original
poster) that Snape could have been trying to take the
glory all for himself, we can see that evidenced in
PoA. 

So that's it from me!
