"I only used you in ways that made you stronger. That's what it means to be used by a friend."

My favorite line in this chapter.

Did you notice that from Quirrel's perspective, that's exactly what he has done to/with Harry? Killing Hermione had the effect of hardening Harry's resolve, and removing some of his scrupels. For Quirrel that's "stronger".

And not just obvious current scruples. Hermione is an external scruple-generator for Harry.
