Ch 68

the Defense Professor couldn't help anyone become the sort of hero that was worth becoming, and that he wouldn't even understand the difference

Damn, another good line! Where do you get all this, Eliezer?

ETA:

Ch 69

it occurred to Hermione that there might be a lot more viewpoints on the subject than just four.

Am I just in an agreeable mood today, or is this really that good?

EATA:

My favorite was "...she was suddenly realizing just how large a difference had sprung up between Hogwarts students who'd signed up for all of Professor Quirrell's extra-curricular activities, and students who'd had years of being taught by the worst Professors ever to go Professing."

Also, it's a hint. With the previous generation so weak in Battle Magic (due to Voldemort's curse - and this was discussed before, I think), it was part of Professor Quirrell's plan to train up Harry's schoolmates as well, so he can have a decent army someday.

It's easy to miss it because of the funny. Eliezer does this kind of misdirection all the time.
