Yes, that sounds like a good idea :-)
I think I'll need to read that missing paragraph before I can properly respond.
I like quite a few supervillains, but I don't necessarily want to think like them. For example, I like Lex Luthor as he is presented in DCUO, but his thinking is demonstrably flawed and inefficient, due to some glaring mental biases and the aforementioned secrecy-induced positive feedback loops. I like him, but I want to think better than he does.
But it is quite likely that you were thinking of something else when you typed your comment...
I like MoR!Quirrell. (His superpower is his intelligence.)
I don't know enough about him yet to like or dislike him. His actions seem like they're smart and efficient, but it's hard to tell whether they truly are, since we don't know much about his true goals. Due to all the mystery about him, he feels less like a character and more like a plot device -- though I fully expect that to change in the chapters to come.
That said, intelligence is not MoR!Quirrel's only superpower. He is also an incredibly powerful wizard (at least, on his good days) in terms of sheer energy output (metaphorically speaking).
