I never thought of it either until today.  Voldemort would 
also have heard the *entire* conversation between Snape and 
Quirrell in the Forbidden Forest.  It's too bad *we* didn't, 
especially the part that was interrupted by the owl, when 
Snape was reproaching Quirrell for his "little bit of 
hocus-pocus".

My guess is that Snape was already suspicious of Voldemort's 
presence at that point and couched his language very carefully 
with an eye towards future plausible deniability.  I can 
imagine him taking the offensive in his own defense when 
he had to confront Voldemort again after LV's regeneration.  
"Master, why didn't you *trust* me, etc., etc."  But, I've 
no doubt Snape was tortured when he returned to Voldemort 
and I find it hard to believe that Voldemort fully trusted Snape.

The interesting thing is that Bellatrix doesn't seem to know 
anything about it.  Surely she would have thrown that up to 
him, too, if she did.
