Well, iirc in the books Quirrell was described as being a worldly Dark-ish badass before he became possessed by Voldemort, upon which he became very timid.

I don't think you do rc, I'm afraid. He was basically a timid Muggle Studies professor with a latent interest in the Dark Arts. Definitely not worldly or badass in any way.

I believe the "he used to be the Muggle Studies professor" thing is merely fanon. (Or maybe it was Word of God? I don't remember. It definitely wasn't in the books.)

Hm, you're right. Everyone treats it as canon, but I can't find an actual reference anywhere.

On the other hand, Word of God says his main hobby, other than travel, is pressing flowers, which I don't think wins him any worldly badass points.
