>>> a thought/question occured to me: Snape suspects Quirrell of 
trying to get at the Sorcerer's Stone and keeps confronting him 
late ... about it. As we come to find out, you-know-who has taken 
up residence under the turban and is controlling Quirell.<<<

SSSusan:
I believe it was Pippin who pointed out a couple of weeks ago when 
this topic last came up that it's likely that Snape *did* tell DD 
about his suspicions concerning Quirrell.  I don't think either Snape 
or DD knew that Voldy was barnacled to Quirrell's head--how could 
they know *that*?--but as Pippin pointed out, after Snape confronted 
Q., did we see him make any further attempts either on Harry's life 
or to retrieve the stone, until the very end of the school year when 
he was caught by Harry?  

I think she made a good point that Q. realized he'd better tone it 
down because he was being watched.  Only when the school year was 
nearly over *and* DD had left Hogwarts did Q. make another move.
