On a side note, note that Quirrell is wrong or lying about already fulfilling the terms of the prophecy. The person that Quirrell marked as his equal, who has powers that Quirrell knows not, is the version of Harry Potter after Quirrell forked himself.
Hence, presumably, the sense of doom.
(... what is odd, though, is that Quirrell seems to be on the losing end of that conflict of magic.)
Quirrell marked Harry as his equal. I cannot imagine anything more marking someone as your equal than replacing their mind with your own.
... but that's not marking someone as your equal, it's killing them and replacing them entirely. That's like saying murdering someone is marking them - maybe, but only in the useless-prophecy "A great nation will fall" sense.
Whereas HJPEV got the same mark that Quirrell got in his first year.
