Contact between Harry and Quirrell causes mutual destruction.

I had wondered if Harry was a time turned version of Quirrell, and the "sense of doom" was a feeling about interaction with a time turned version of yourself.

All the information I needed was there all along

Along those lines, my biggest failing was taking Quirrellmort as so invincible. Get the drop on him and stun him. Thoroughly erase his memories. Duh. The whole "can't be killed" and "can escape his body" were effective brains stops for me.

A good lesson on being clear about your requirements. He didn't need to be killed, he needed to be removed as a threat.

Interesting. For the BSG fans, funny how the Cylons had their own horcrux network.

Surely that the older Quirrell had time turned and met his younger self?

Added: oh, I see, it works both ways.
