He believes, he's not sure. After all, he dind't blow up his coverage with 
Quirrell in PS. Now suppose you pretend to be loyal to Voldie, you'll protect 
the Stone so that no one steals it before your master does. As Voldie didn't 
identify himself, why should Snape let or aid Quirrel get the stone? Quirrel 
could be a double-test from DD to see if he was loyal. That's what you should 
explain V before he kills you, I think.

Lucius Malfoy is on is Lucius Malfoy>>

Add to that the things that can be gained through a traitor. Snape is well 
situated, so, why 'waste' that?
