What?  *Hermione*?  Harry would've fallen off his broom long before she cast her spell if Severus hadn't been using a countercurse!  Although I think this is movie contamination, Severus fell into a guy to fall into Quirell on purpose so Quirell would stop.  I really don't think that coming in at the last second counts as "saving Harry's life".  Reminds me of all those cop shows where the local cops get angry when the FBI comes in because they steal all the glory (no offense to any actual FBI people, I'm only paralleling the situation).  Giving the credit to Hermione when Severus held Quirell off for so long is wrong IMO.  I think Severus would have beat Quirell's curse.
