he has tried to kill Harry by feeding him to a dementor.

Almost certainly not. Remember, it was Quirrell who drew Flitwick's attention to the dropped wand. It is possible that Quirrell planned for precisely what occurred - Harry temporarily Demented and apparently evil.

it's a big leap to assume that he hasn't thought of taking Harry someplace isolated and setting a blowtorch on him.

Why do people keep assuming Quirrell thinks of Harry as an enemy?

He drew attention to the wand after Hermione committed herself to going to the cage. Maybe he didn't have to, but that's the sort of cleverness I expect from him. It tricked you, after all.

I can't speak for people, but Harry is Voldemort's enemy in canon. Until I see some extraordinary evidence to the contrary, I'm going to assume that hasn't changed.
