Angie wonders, too:

Excellent question, I think.  Voldemort wouldn't have to know 
anything about the Order to know that Snape was trying to prevent 
Quirrell from getting the Stone, which would mean he was working 
against Voldemort.  Yet, in OOP (I think) someone (can't find this 
right now) told Snape that Lucius Malfoy spoke highly of him or 
something to that effect.  Now I'm really confused!
