Amiable Dorsai:
All I can find is this:

"Who's that teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?" he asked
Percy.

"Oh, you know Quirrell already, do you? No wonder he's looking so
nervous, that's Professor Snape. He teaches Potions, but he doesn't
want to -- everyone knows he's after Quirrell's job. Knows an awful
lot about the Dark Arts, Snape."--Sorcerer's Stone

Nobody said anything about Death Eaters.  

I suppose you could hypothesize that Harry had a bias against Snape
because he felt pain in his scar when Snape looked at him in the Great
Hall (though I see little sign of such), but I couldn't find any
reference to Snape as a possible supporter of
He-Who-Must-Be-Suffocating-Under-That-Turban before Harry's first
Potions class.
