know that Voldemort was trying to make a come-back, and thus that he
needed to get the stone to the safest place possible? The answer, of
course, is that the mark in Snape's arm had been giving them signals
all along.  Voldemort was getting closer, and was getting stronger too
thanks to the nurture of Quirrell. As soon as they realised that
Voldemort was coming back to the country (it's not as if you could
pin-point the location of Voldemort by a very faint mark in someone's
arm), they decided to move the stone to Hogwarts, just in case.<<<


Now me adding to the idea:
I like the idea that the mark tipped Dumbledore and Snape off to the
fact that Voldemort was growing stronger.  I always assumed the Snape
in the pensive was from present HP year four, but it could be from the
past pre-HP year one.  I know Snape said that his and Karkaroff's
marks were growing stronger, but maybe Snape was in contact with
Karkaroff for comparison.

Now if in fact Dumbledore and Snape were sitting back waiting for
Voldemort to raise his strengths to come back to London, I wonder if
they left the stone in Gringott's as bait.  Snape, as a spy DE, placed
the idea in Voldemort's head about the stone's existence and could of
leaked the number of the vault to Voldemort or Quirrell to attract
them to London within his and Dumbledore's watched world.

So then, when Voldemort took the bait, they rushed down and removed
the stone (bait) the day of instead of weeks before.  Thus making it
possible that Voldemort, or in this case, Quirrell in a precarious
situation of being sucked into the vault.  They could of caught the
spy and maybe even Voldemort.  Either way, Snape and Dumbledore were
able to watch the premises and see:
(a) the Voldemort supporter (Quirrell)
(b) have Voldemort on home turf to influence

I just do not by the "Oops, forgot the stone was in the safe that can
be broken into by a powerful dark wizard.  Wait there is a powerful
dark wizard that would want to live forever.  Hmm, wonder if he would
actually steal it."  I think the stone was bait.
