Is he actually loyal to his students or Up To Something?.
Could be both. In any case I think it's a fair assumption that Quirrell is always up to something.
This is driving me crazy.
I never know when he's doing evil or not. This chapter, for example, led me to believe he was doing good at some point of his life. Although my rationalist-beginner-side is screaming at me he is Voldemort or something, I can't help but sympathize with that point.
Um, his "good" deed consisted of attempting to set up a fake ultimate hero and getting really pissed of when people didn't fall for it.
We don't actually know that yet. It's only a popular fan theory.
