Yes, you are right, it is because Voldemort is underneath Quirrell's turban.
We all knew this the second time we read PS/SS.  However, we are talking
about what is going on in Harry's head.  Harry is the one making the
connection between Snape and the laugh.  As I said last post, I really want
to look at this when I'm more awake (almost done with email and then bed for
me), but Quirrell's turban does enter into Harry's dream as well.  In the
beginning of the dream, Harry dreams that the turban is squeezing his head
tighter and tighter while telling him he needs to switch to Slytherin
immediately, it is his destiny.  Somewhere in this dream, he sees Draco's
face, which turns into Snape's, which turns into the flash of green light he
remembers from that fateful night, accompanied by the laugh.  So maybe Harry
does think it's Snape that caused the pain, but something else is trying to
tell him that it has something to do with Quirrell, the turban, and the
giver of the scar.  If looked at in this light, the question would be:  why
did Draco show up in the dream at all?  Simply because Harry associates
Draco with Slytherin, and he is being told he needs to transfer to
Slytherin?
