Wow. Imagine if Quirrel had transformed Hermione into the troll and the troll into a Hermione copy.

Ugh.

Then Harry would've been the killer.

And, due to his 'connection', the wards could've actually mistaken him for Quirrel.

A troll is unlikely to have any last words at all. Specifically not "not your fault."

Also a troll is unlikely to die with the feeling of a thousand books.

I think this is a very low likelihood guess.

If not Hermoine, the only possible person to have died was McGonagall.

That being said, Hermoine's dead. No tricks.

Yep, totally true. I didn't assign it any significant probability, I just thought it was scary.
