I think he just wants to keep himself in the loop. (Which is probably the same reason he offered to teach him any spell he can.)

If he refuses to help, Harry will just do everything in secret, which is dangerous. Quirell probably reasons that his best chance of exerting influence is to be near, preferably a part of, Harry’s plans.
