Hey everyone, Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing The Philosopher's Stone, Hogwarts professor Quirinus Quirrell, Lord Voldemort, and of course- Harry Potter.
After returning home from his trip, Quirrell didn't reprise his previous role of Muggle Studies professor; instead, he had been given the coveted position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor - a subject that had been notoriously cursed for years. And although Dumbledore, ever watchful, was wary of Quirrell's drastic transformation, he lacked concrete evidence and thus permitted the young professor to carry out his duties.
And the year Quirrell assumed the role of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor coincidentally aligned with Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts. Very early on in Harry's magical adventures, he stops at the Leaky Cauldron with Hagrid, where he has his first encounter with Quirrell - a meeting that, at the time, seemed unremarkable but would later prove to be far more significant.
