This attempted murder was well-planned to evade detection both by the wards of Hogwarts and the Headmaster's timely eye.

Quirrell sure loves his stealth puns. Is there any reason he is not openly telling Hermione about Dumbledore's time turner?

The Defense Professor turned his head down from the sky to regard her; and she saw, in the light of the doorway, that he was smiling - or at least half his face was smiling.

Is Quirrell's half-smile a reference to Robin Hanson's picture?

Why would it benefit him for her to know about it?

If the light's coming from the doorway, it's one side of his face that's illuminated, not the bottom.

Edit: ...that is a pretty creepy picture, isn't it?
