Preserving the image of Quirrell also helps in continuing to restore Slytherin, whereas outing him could damn the house to be forever ignoble or be removed completely
Howso? It is no revelation to anyone that Voldemort was a Slytherin.
And Quirrel was Ravenclaw.
Not in HPMOR.
Chapter 16:

And Monroe was in Slytherin. That was a piece of intentionally leaked information so that the "smart" people could deduce that he was Monroe.
Yes in HPMOR

But why is any of original!Quirrell's biographical information relevant to this discussion? Everyone who knew Quirrell the Defense Professor will remember him as a Slytherin.
