Harry's dream in PS/SS

I haven't noticed this brought up since HBP, so...

Considering what we now know about Snape, Draco Malfoy, and Horcruxes,
what does everyone make of the dream Harry had his first night at
Hogwarts?  It seems like one of those passages we should be able to
dig through for clues, but I can't think of any theories this could
lend itself to.  It hardly seems like something that JKR would put in
just to show Harry's distress.

(PS, page 130)

"Perhaps Harry had eaten a bit too much, because he had a very strange
dream.  He was wearing Professor Quirrell's turban, which kept talking
to him, telling him he must transfer to Slytherin at once, because it
was his destiny.  Harry told the turban he didn't want to be in
Slytherin; it got heavier and heavier; he tried to pull it off but it
tightened painfully - and there was Malfoy, laughing at him as he
struggled with it - then Malfoy turned into the hook-nosed teacher,
Snape, whose laugh became high and cold - there was a burst of green
light and Harry woke, sweating and shaking.

"He rolled over and fell asleep again, and when he woke next day, he
didn't remember the dream at all."
