Wait, can you explain why lacking a patronus is evidence against Quirrel being a time-traveling Harry? He would have the same super-bright human patronus that Harry does, which would be a bit of a tip that he was Harry-from-the-future. So obviously he would pretend to not have one.
Alternative idea: You only get one patronus. Harry's got hit by AK, so now he can't cast patronus anymore.
Shhh, if you're not careful, patronuses will be sentient next. Is it ethical to dismiss a sentient patronus?
