When Quirrel (Voldemort) was trying to hurt Harry during the 
quidditch match in SS, Snape was countering the spell.  I don't have 
the book handy.  However, I remember Hermoine setting Snapes robe on 
fire - thinking he was hexing Harry.  On that occasion, Snape may 
have been saving Harry as repayment to James.
