Quirrell confirms that Snape was bitten on Halloween trying to head him off. All I can think is that Snape was trying to do the same heroic dash through the trap door that Harry will do later on--to see if Quirrell had gotten in.

Golly was this just another mistake by JKR?  I was about to propose that Filch and SS were assigned to feed Fluffy and that SS took his eyes off Fluffy for a moment.  They stopped off in the staff room to stop the worst of the bleeding before SS went to the infirmary.  I dont's think SS is shown as a healer in general.  He makes healing potions and he knows the (probably secret) cure for Sectumsempra, but I am not sure he can cure dog bites - or snake bites - by himself.

  Why wouldn't SS know that music put Fluffy to sleep?
