While I was surfing the web and updating my blog, a
thought came to my mind, I apologize if this has been
discussed before but yahoomort wasn't much help.

Here it goes:

We all know that during PS/SS Professor Quirell had
Voldemort in his body, sharing it. Voldemort was
trying to get Quirell to steal the Philosopher's
stone, he tried to steal it out of Gringotts and
failed by only a few hours (or minutes), then as
punishment he decided to "join" him in order to keep a
close watch on him. 

During the first banquet of the year, while Harry was
looking at Quirell his scar hurt for the first time
and he thought it was due to Professor Snape. Over the
weeks as Harry & Co start to figure things out,
believing that Severus Snape was after the Stone in
order to get it to his "master", Lord Voldemort. 

On Halloween, when a troll got into the castle, Snape
got hurt, he was bitten in the leg by Fluffy, Hagrid's
cute three-headed dog. Harry believes that Snape tried
to get through the dog and into the chamber that
contained the Stone. 

After one Quidditch trainning, Harry follows Snape
into the forbidden forest, the conversation goes
something like this: Quirell is almost crying and
Snape tells him he'd better decide in who's his
loyalty, then the scene is over and Harry is more
convinced than ever that Snape is guilty.

We all know what happens at the end, Harry realizes
it's Quirell who's after the Stone, and he learns that
Voldemort is hiding behind his turban, and Snape was
actually trying to save the Stone -and Harry.

So, my question is if Snape faced Quirell a few times
and told him to stop chasing the Stone, to decide in
whom is his loyalty, then why didn't Voldemort also
know about it? He was already sharing Quirell's body
and soul, so he must have known and heard all their
conversations, right? So how come Snape does not know
that Snape has changed sides? that he is actually
working for the Order and Dumbledore?

Juli- always obsessing about Severus Snape
