Dumbledore's an over-the-top kind of guy. I got the impression that he was being genuine in his comments re: Quirrell; see for example his initial confusion when he sees him in the mirror.

On the other hand, I'm now pretty sure that he knew Harry was a Riddle instance, or at least something similar, all along.
