P220, SS
"The ancient study of alchemy is concerned with making the Sorcerer's
Stone, a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The stone will
transform any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of
Life, which will make the drinker immortal."

Isn't Harry kind of like the metal that was transformed into gold due
to what happened at Godrics hollow? If Harry was accidently turned
into a horcrux you could also say that Harry represents the
Elixir of Life to Voldemort. Horcrux!Harry makes Voldemort
immortal.

Another thought comes to mind. Could Snape be interested in acquiring
the powers that Harry received from Voldemort? Just a thought.
Maybe Snape is the "Golden Snitch." Does Snape want to be turned into
gold?

Reasons why Snape may have been at GH and/or suspected that Harry may
be a Horcrux:

P126, SS
"It happened very suddenly. The hooked-nosed teacher looked past
Quirell's turban straight into Harry's eyes--and a sharp, hot pain
shot across the scar on Harry's forehead."

I wonder what Snape thinks about this scar? Doesn't he know a lot of
dark magic? If he was at GH he would have first hand knowledge of
what happened to Harry. 

P193-194, The Dueling Club, CoS
"Snape moved closer to Malfoy, bent down, and whispered something in
his ear. Malfoy smirked too...Malfoy raised his wand quickly and
bellowed, "Serpensortia! ...Snape too, was looking at Harry in an
unexpected way: it was a shrewd and calculating look, and Harry
didn't like it."

Did Snape just test his pet Horcrux!Harry theory on Harry? If Snape 
believed that Harry might have some of Voldemort's powers what better 
way to test him?

P333, CoS
"Voldemort put a bit of himself in me?" Harry said, thunder struck.
"It certainly seems so."


P219, SS
"Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard
Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's
blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel!"

I could see Snape being interested in learning what Dumbledore
learned from Flamel. I can also see him being interested in the 12
uses of dragon's blood. Is this part of the reason why he wanted to
get close to Dumbledore?

P221, SS
"Harry didn't know whether he was imagining it or not, but he seemed
to keep running into Snape wherever he went. At times, he wondered
whether Snape was following him, trying to catch him on his own.
Potions lessons were turning into a sort of weekly torture, Snape was
so horrible to Harry. Could Snape possibly know they'd found out
about the Sorcerer's Stone? Harry didn't see how he could--yet he
sometimes had the horrible feeling that Snape could read minds."

I wonder if Snape bothered to tell Dumbledore that Harry knew about
the stone?
