I Dödliga Hallows lär vi oss att Dumbledore frågade Snape att hålla ett öga på Quirrel. Vi antar att han trodde att Quirrel var fiskig.
Keep an eye on Quirrell, won't you?
Jag antar att någon gång efter det att utbyte efter den punkten i Philosophers Stone talade Snape med Quirrel om skyddet av stenen i den förbjudna skogen, förmodligen konversation om hur man kommer förbi alla skydd .... (Snape kan ha handlat info med Quirrell)
"... d-don't know why you wanted t-t-to meet here of all p-places, Severus..."
"Oh, I thought we'd keep this private," said Snape, his voice icy. "Students aren't supposed to know about the Sorcerer's Stone, after all."
Harry leaned forward. Quirrell was mumbling something. Snape interrupted him.
"Have you found out how to get past that beast of Hagrid's yet?"
"B-b-but Severus, I --"
"You don't want me as your enemy, Quirrell," said Snape, taking a step toward him.
"I-I don't know what you
"You know perfectly well what I mean."
An owl hooted loudly, and Harry nearly fell out of the tree. He steadied himself in time to hear Snape say, "-- your little bit of hocus-pocus. I'm waiting."
"B-but I d-d-don't --"
"Very well," Snape cut in. "We'll have another little chat soon, when you've had time to think things over and decided where your loyalties lie."
Såklart Snape (som spelar dubbeltagenten som alltid) och därför visste Dumbledore att det bara var en fråga om tid innan Quirrell försökte stjäla stenen. Snape och Dumbledore hade en reservplan, eftersom jag tvivlar på att de planerade att den gyllene trioen skulle spara dagen.
Planen var att spegeln av erised skulle vara omöjlig att övervinna:
'How did I get the Stone out of the Mirror?'
'Ah, now, I'm glad you asked me that. It was one of my more brilliant ideas, and between you and me, that's saying something. You see, only one who wanted to find the Stone - find it, but not use it - would be able to get it, otherwise they'd just see themselves making gold or drinking Elixir of Life. My brain surprises even me sometimes ...'

Och när Quirrell ser på spegeln så ser han vad han verkligen vill - presentera Voldemort med stenen och vinna all herlighet från sin herre.
'I see the Stone ... I'm presenting it to my master ... but where is it?'
