Pippin:
Odd, then, that Quirrell does  not reason the same way. He *does*
try to kill Harry. He is investigated. He  does exactly what I would 
expect a guilty Snape to do. He keeps his cool  (while acting innocently
flustered and nervous) and denies everything. He  could have done much
the same if his plan had succeeded and Harry had died.

Nikkalmati: 
I cannot imagine that any flavor of Snape, except for  DDMSnape, would pass 
up the chance to get rid of Harry on the off chance someone  would suspect him. 
 After all, he is actually innocent and can prove it  through any means 
brought against him (Legilimancy, Veritaserum).  He also  is used to being under 
suspicion and getting out of tight spots.  The  slight risk is very much worth 
the reward.  After all, if Harry is  gone, Snape becomes even more important to 
DD as a weapon against LV.
