I'm not sure how Quirrell's last plot could still come to fruition. Slytherin have won the house cup and one of the professors awarding house points to Ravenclaw at this stage would feel like Quirrell's plotting had failed.
Unless they award the points in response to Voldy being killed by Hermione. Which means even in dying, Quirrel wins.
The annihilation of Quirrell!Mort (assuming that is what's happened) isn't something I can envisage as being part of Quirrell's plot. So, although the outcome Quirrell was aiming for coming to pass would make it look like he was successful in fact his plot failed and Harry's plot on his behalf succeeded.
It can be argued that Quirrell manipulation of Harry to ensure Quirrell was seen to win was a strand in Quirrell's plot. But, his fear of death / destruction of his horcrux was so profound my model of Quirrell wouldn't perceive himself to have won under these circumstances.
