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.

You did not said anything that came across as mean, don't worry. :o)
We'll never know, would we, whether Severus would have beat Quirrel 
curse? ;)

Even if he would, my main point is that it is VERY understandable for 
Harry to think of him as villain and that the apology was the last 
thing on his mind.
