I am confused. Quirrell's plan to get the Stone out of the Mirror while eluding Dumbledore's traps is: go to the Mirror with Harry, then brainstorm ideas together for how to get the Stone from the Mirror, and then try the riskiest idea that Harry came up with?

I blame the DADA curse. That, or he did just go even crazier while stargazing.

After all, having just one plot in motion to defeat Voldemort would be irresponsible,

... Wait. Yes, that works. Voldemort bluffs Flamel - whoever that actually is - and the stone gets hidden in hogwarts specifically to get Voldemort, who Dumbledore knows wanted the DADA job to walk into the curse.

The DADA curse was put by Voldemort itself. Does it affect him ? And can't he lift it ? I wouldn't blame much upon that curse concerning Quirrelmort.
