Hickengruendler:

I don't think so. Remember that the chapter where we first learned 
about him saving Harry in book 1 was called "The Man With The Two 
Faces". Of course, on the surface this seems to describe Quirrell, 
but I always thought that the title also meant Snape, since we saw 
his other face for the first time in this chapter. If it's true that 
his birthdate marks the festival of Janus, than I feel confirmed.
