Quirrell tried to put up feeble resistance on occasion, but Voldemort was far too strong for him. Quirrell is, in effect, turned into a temporary Horcrux by Voldemort. He is greatly depleted by the physical strain of fighting the far stronger, evil soul inside him.
However, Voldemort, after finding out that he taught at Hogwarts, took over his body, subsequently turning him into a temporary Horcrux, though Quirrell put up some feeble resistance. He died in vain while trying to murder Harry Potter in the Underground Chambers.
Quirrell is considered a horcrux. However, the reason it is not always mentioned is because he was a temporary one and as the first one to be destroyed, the connection is never made in the books, but by definition Quirrell is in fact a horcrux. "Quirrell is, in effect, turned into a temporary Horcrux by Voldemort."
Near the end of his life, his reason for wearing the turban became clear. Quirrell had joined with Voldemort and agreed to allow Voldemort's fledgling body to latch on to the back of his head. It was only able to grow into a face, and used Quirrell for transportation and sustenance.
Professor Quirrell was not a Death Eater. He was someone who had the misfortune to discover Voldemort in the forests of Albania. Quirrell allowed himself to be convinced that might made right, and that he should assist Voldemort.
Originally Answered: Did Snape know that Quirrell was hosting Voldemort? No. Snape did not know Quirrell was hosting Lord Voldemort during the events of Book 1. He tried to stop Quirrell from acquiring the Sorcerer's Stone on Dumbledore's orders.
His nerves, expressed most obviously in his stammer, are so pronounced that it is rumoured the turban is stuffed full of garlic, to ward off vampires. I saw Quirrell as a gifted but delicate boy, who would probably have been teased for his timidity and nerves during his school life.
Lily's sacrifice and her love saved Harry. Voldemort can not comprehend love, and so it destroys him to touch Harry because Lily's love for her son runs through Harry's veins and body. ems Harry burnt Quirrell's face when he touched it.
When Quirrell takes a trip to Albania, the last rumored location of Voldemort, and comes back a stuttering mess, Dumbledore probably instantly knew what was up. He just couldn't catch him in the act. So, he let him go for the Stone.
There were 8 horcruxes. 7 were made by Voldemort intentionally ( Nagini, goblet, diary, locket, ring, diadem and the part of his soul in Voldemort himself) and 1 was made accidentally which was Harry. Can anyone tell me exact definition of Horcruxes ????
As he was a relatively weak-willed wizard, Quirrell attempted to attain distinction by attaching himself to a powerful being, though that power instead latched itself onto him. Quirrell was never seen performing magic, so it is uncertain how powerful a wizard he actually was.
Voldemort's desire to beat death and become immortal was also why he and Quirrell ended up slaying innocent unicorns. Drinking the blood of a unicorn would keep someone alive – even if they were an inch from death.
Snape and Quirrell taught together at Hogwarts at least one additional year prior to Philosopher's Stone, although Quirrell's employment history at Hogwarts is murky. Quirrell is described as a "young man" but his precise age is unknown, while Snape is canonically 31 at the beginning of the first book.
The most likely reason why Lord Voldemort's nose disappeared and he devolved into such an evil-looking creature is that as he dabbled deeper into the Dark Arts, his appearance gradually became as distorted as what remained of his twisted soul.
Albus Dumbledore: I had my suspicions about Professor Quirrell, but I saw no concrete evidence of wrongdoing. I felt it was more important to give him the benefit of the doubt and keep a close eye on him, rather than dismiss him without proper cause.
Love is the one thing that Voldemort cannot understand, which is why he is burned by the traces of motherly love on Harry's body. The greatest lesson learned throughout this adventure may be that love for others is more valuable than the pursuit of one's own desires (which is really nothing more than love for oneself).
Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.
A Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Snape is hostile to Harry due to his resemblance to his father James Potter, who bullied Snape during their time together at Hogwarts. As the series progresses, Snape's character becomes more layered and enigmatic.
Voldemort was almost in control of Quirrell's body by that time. Voldemort controlled Quirrell as to attack Harry. This activated Lily Potter's magic where Voldemort is not even allowed to touch Harry. And that's why Harry was able to burn Quirrell down.
Professor Quirrell
"Master, I cannot hold him — my hands, my hands!" No one was very sad about the literally two-faced Quirrell's death.
He was a bad guy, and he tried to kill Harry Potter and his friends, but Lord Voldemort had complete control of him throughout this event. Quirrell was more like Peter Pettigrew in that he was someone who wanted to become more than what life gave him and paid for it with his soul.
He doesn't trust Snape as Dumbledore does, but he believes that he can detect any disloyalty. Moreover, Voldemort regards Snape as highly intelligent and therefore ' as a true Slytherin ' a person whose top priority is to take care of himself. To his twisted mind, selfless equals stupid.
Because Snape felt that Harry was his only remaining tie to Lily, and working with Dumbledore to protect Harry was his only remaining way of expressing his love for Lily, by honoring her memory. Dumbledore did keep up his part of the deal. He hid the Potters. He did everything he could to keep them safe.
Snape did not need to tell Dumbledore about Quirell because he already knew. It was Dumbledore who told Snape to keep an eye on Quirell because the former already had his suspicions. Snape was not able to accumulate solid proof but otherwise Dumbledore was well in the loop.
