Harry Potter wasn't really looking for the philosopher's stone. He was curious about what Fluffy was guarding, but only after he thought Severus Snape was trying to steal it. Harry then went down the trapdoor not to get the philosopher's stone, but to prevent Voldemort from getting it.

∙ 8y agoSeverus Snape took an instant dislike to Harry because of his relationship with James Potter, Harry's father.
At Hallowe'en, Harry notices Snape has been injured whilst trying to get past Fluffy and then during Harry first Quidditch match, Hermione notices Snape muttering a curse. She failed, however, to also notice Professor Quirrell muttering one. Harry also overhears two conversations in which he thinks Snape is talking to Quirell about the stone - in reality only one of them was.
Harry wanted to believe it was Snape and some events made that possible.

Professor Quirrell was the person trying to steal the stone so that he could give it to Lord Voldemort who could use it to return to power.

Instead, the remaining piece of his soul was left in a weakened state. When he was found by Professor Quirrell they planned to steal the philosopher's stone so that he could be returned to his former self.
