what stops Quirrell from polyjuicing [...] Or better yet ... polyjuice

"Polyfluis Reverso!"

what stops Quirrell from [...] asking for private audience in Dumbledore apartment, doing quick surprise Avada Kedavra

If killing Dumbledore were as simple as yelling "Avada Kedavra" at him when his back is turned, he'd already be dead.

I've thought if you're not Harry Potter, and you have brain, then the only way to survive Avada Kedavra is not to be there?

And when Harry sneaked to Dumbledore last time he (D.) had not cast anything to check if it was Harry. Maybe he can do this quietly.

Dumbledore seems to do just fine animating things to move between him and the curse. Maybe DumbleMoR can conjure a steel shield faster than it's possible to say Avadakedavra.
