Do we know that Harry is a horcrux in HPMoR? I'd assign a much lower probability to Quirrelmort making him one by accident than I would for the original Voldemort.

Conversely, I'd assign a much higher probability of MoR!Quirrell making him one on purpose than canon!Voldemort.

Do we know that Quirrell is Quirrellmort in HPMoR?

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Are you asking if we know that Professor Quirrel is Voldemort? Ryvrmre unf nssvezrq gung gung'f gur pnfr. Vs lbh'er nfxvat fbzrguvat ryfr gura V'ir zvfhaqrefgbbq gur dhrfgvba.

Ah...

You do not need to rot13 anything about HP:MoR or the original Harry Potter series unless you are posting insider information from Eliezer Yudkowsky which is not supposed to be publicly available (which includes public statements by Eliezer that have been retracted).

Did he retract this statement? Where did he do that?

ROT13: Vg jnf znqr pyrne va gur nhgube'f abgrf gung Dhveeryy vf Ibyqrzbeg, nsgre Ryvrmre jnf naablrq gung crbcyr qvqa'g frrz gb erpbtavmr gung Dhveeryy jnf fhccbfrq gb or rivy.

So the solution for Desrtopa is either ROT13 the above, or remove any mention you may or may not have made that Eliezer may or may not have confirmed or denied something.

No, though lots of people act like they know that, some of whom may or may not be the author.
