Eddie:
We don't know canonically what Voldemort asked Snape. But for the
sake of discussion, let's say LV asked Snape why. I can hear Snape
saying, "My lord, if I had known it was YOU directing that slimeball
Quirrell, I never would have interfered. As it was, I had to suppress
my repugnance of that Potter punk just to continue my spy cover."
Or something like that, but much better written.
