Also Ch. 77:

"As to that," said Professor Quirrell, sounding bored again, "I stole it months ago, and left a fake in its place. But thank you kindly for asking."

"You're lying," said Severus Snape after a pause.

"Yes, I am."

I'm guessing what Quirrell lied about is that it was months ago, rather than just about one month ago...

I assumed they were referring to the Philosopher's Stone, which (at least in canon) is hidden in the third floor corridor.

Ah, I was confused, thought Resurrection Stone and Philosopher's Stone were the same thing.

No - one extends life and turns lead to gold, the other resurrects the dead.

He has that stone too? And Dumbledore doesn't know it? That would surprise me.
