Did Voldemort know Snape saved Harry?
Of course Voldemort knew that Snape was trying to save Harry. Voldemort also knew that he himself was gone and presumed dead. Voldemort would be unsurprised that Snape was doing everything he could to protect and enhance his position.
Did Snape lie to Voldemort about when they were moving Harry?
In order to preserve his position as a trusted Death Eater, Severus Snape was forced to tell Voldemort the true date at which the Order planned to move Harry. The rest of the Order was unaware of this, as they believed Snape to be a traitor.
Why did Snape suspect Quirrell?
He said that he thought Quirrel was trying to steal the stone for himself, and that he had to follow Dumbledore’s orders to thwart Quirrel’s attempts (since Dumbledore’s testimony is the only thing that kept him out of Azkaban).
Why did Voldemort allow Snape to stay with Dumbledore?
Perhaps Voldemort thought Snape was biding his time till the Dark Lord rose once again (while also protecting the stone from another professor whom Snape assumed was attempting to steal the stone). As long as Voldemort remained hidden, he knew it was best for Snape to appear loyal to Dumbledore in anyway possible.
Why did Voldemort keep the Quirrell stone?
Voldemort must have thought that Snape didn’t know Voldemort was inside the body of Quirrell, He just had to keep the stone safe, because he wouldn’t get trusted by dumbledore.
Why didn’t Snape turn to Dumbledore for the Quirrell stone?
Ultimately though, had Snape, from Voldemort’s perspective, truly considered Quirrell an objective danger to Dumbledore’s plans for the stone, Snape would have turned to Dumbledore. Instead, Snape seems to be pursuing this on his own, which logically means Snape isn’t looking out for Dumbledore’s plans, but his (Snape’s) own plans.
How many times did Snape attack Quirrell in Harry Potter?
Snape cornered Quirrell more than once (Halloween, when Quirrell let the troll in, and the night Harry broke into the Restricted Section over the Christmas holidays to look for information on Nicholas Flamel) and openly threatened him against working for Voldemort and pressuring him to declare his loyalties to Dumbledore.
