Oh, I don't know...what complicates this is Quirrell's statement about the
"counter curse" Snape was "muttering" in answer to Harry's realization that
Quirrell was hexing his broom during the Quidditch match.  I don't think
Voldemort is naive enough to think that if Snape was still loyal to him,
he'd be trying to save Harry Potter that day - Snape could have turned a
blind eye or not muttered the correct counter spell.
