To be a good con man, you have to think like other people. Harry's not good at that.

Quirrel made a little speech, at the end of Azkaban, about how unusually good Harry was at that. It was plausible enough to make Harry himself tentatively believe it.

And, as we already know, Quirrel is a very, very good con man.
