Best Answer

He thought Severus Snape was threatening Quirinius Quirrell to help him steal the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone. He overheard Quirrell in a room by himself talking to Voldemort, but he thought it was Snape. He also saw, while riding his broomstick, Snape and Quirrell in the Forbidden Forest.

In the movie, after fleeing the library, Harry saw Snape back Quirrell up against a wall and threaten him that he "doesn't want him as an enemy" before Filch interrupted them with the information that a student is out of bed. This was the scene where Snape probes the air with his hand in the direction of where Harry is under the Invisibility Cloak. It is just before he discovers the Mirror of Erised in the first movie.

Why doesn't Lord Voldemort become aware of Severus Snape's unfaithfulness to him when he tries to keep Professor Quirrell away from the Philosopher's Stone?

Snape explains this to Bellatrix in the "Spinner's End" chapter of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. He says that he didn't know Quirrell was working with Voldemort, that "I saw only greedy and unworthy Quirrell attempting to steal the stone and, I admit, I did all I could to thwart him," (USA Scholastic hardcover edition, p28). This might actually be the truth. In "The Prince' Tale" chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, when Harry watches the memories Snape gave him while he was dying, one of the memories is from Harry's first year: Dumbledore asks Snape to "keep an eye on Quirrell," (USA Scholastic hardcover edition, p679). It is not clear whether or not Dumbledore suspects Quirrell to be working with Voldemort at this point, or if he thinks Quirrell is trying to steal the stone all by himself. Dumbledore is, of course, a genius, so it is possible that he already knew Quirrell was working with Voldemort. But even if Dumbledore did already suspect that Quirrell was working with Voldemort, it doesn't necessarily mean that he shared this information with Snape.
