Except for the fact that he remained at Hogwarts when the DEs were
summoned to the graveyard. Put that together with Snape's interference
with Quirrell and Voldemort has every reason to believe that he wont't
return and to wish him dead. Also he could not have come back to
Voldemort at any time between Voldemort's vaporization and his
reincarnation in GoF to explain the Quirrell situation or for any
other reason. And now that so many DEs are in Azkaban, Snape's
position is even more dangerous.

Carol, who believes that Snape's mission after GoF was to meet with
Lucius Malfoy, not return to Voldemort in person
