Other members not liking my theories never stopped me. It is the lack 
of any response that is the real bitch...

Neri:
If Snape was coordinated with DD on this, why did he have to try and 
go past Fluffy by himself and nearly lose his leg? Hagrid told DD 
from the beginning how to go past Fluffy.

And had Snape told DD he suspects Quirrell (or had DD suspected 
Quirrell by himself) do you think DD couldn't see into Quirrell's 
turban, or into Quirrell's mind? He certainly saw Voldy through 
Harry's eyes in OotP.

And did Hagrid fail to tell DD that a unicorn was killed in the 
forest, or did DD fail to understand the significance of this?

Nope, I find it much more probable that DD suspected LV was around 
and trying to steal the Stone, but he didn't know where exactly is LV 
hiding, and he didn't suspect it is so close, or he wouldn't have 
left Hogwarts. It seems Snape was working on his own without 
consulting DD. He probably felt that in order to get even with James' 
memory he must save Harry by himself. 

The whole story behind SS/PS is admittedly very murky, but this is 
the less problematic explanation I can think of.
