That Quirrell would not take precautions against "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord" strikes me as crazy talk.

Only a very paranoid person would assume this power applied when Harry was a baby. What if he sent Bella, and she couldn't bring herself too kill a baby? I know this seems unlikely, but not as unlikely as a baby being the only person to ever survive AK.
