Whirlegirl replies:

I think the clue is in the 'seeing'.
Some points that may help clarify;
1. Quirrel was talking to Snape, wearing a turban.
2. Voldemort is sharing Quirrel's head. I think we could assume that 
Voldie could sense what Quirrel is thinking.

which brings me to point 3...

3. Maybe Voldemort was *actually* pissed off at Snape, as he knew 
(well, at any rate he could HEAR) that Quirrel was talking to SS. 

So, that means that at that point in time, due perhaps to their 
proximity, Harry was able to pick up on Voldie's anger/hatred at being 
in the presence of *Snape*. It is possible as Snape says in HBP (to 
Bellatrix) that Voldemort *thought he was DD!M* - never mind whether 
*we* think so or not.

Finally, Voldie does (if i'm not mistaken - i guess i should reread 
PS!) ask Quirrel to take his turban off to see Harry. Apologies if 
this last point is incorrect, but the rest still stands, and explains 
how Quirrel could turn around in lessons and Harry not feel a thing.
