... Why would Quirrell create a dementor?

Considering he is especially weak to them, and the one Harry destroyed vowed to hunt him down as soon as it saw him.

Unless, of course, it gives you a personalized Deathly Hallow. Hmm.

Voldemort used dementors in his army in cannon. That was my thinking.

That is a marvelous image, which is making me giggle.
Sadly, I suppose you probably meant "canon."

Hehehe, of course.

Ah, right.

Suddenly, Harry teaching Qurrelmort how to reduce Dementor effects using the memory of the Stars is looking less wise.
