What puzzles me about this:

  • The centaur foresees that Harry is "the end of the world"
  • Quirrell has also heard that Harry is"the end of the world"
  • Quirrell is really afraid of this (it's the only credible threat to all his horcruxes)
  • The centaur is conveniently about to kill Harry

But then Quirrell saves Harry's life. Why?

Is the only reason because Quirrell has already seen future Harry in Chapter 100 (under the cloak), so knows that Harry has to make it out alive somehow, so he might as well do the saving?

If Quirrell can't solve the problem of future Harry seeing and hearing someone that he thinks looks and sounds like himself, he isn't the dark wizard we deserve.
