What would happen if he used the Philosopher's Stone on Voldemort's transfigured form? I guess the transfiguration would become irreversible.
He wants to figure out how to restore Quirrel, but is the risk of accidentally releasing Voldemort worth it?
I wondered the same thing, But couldn't he also later use the stone to reverse it by re-transfiguring it to Voldemort's body?
I though that Death Eaters mostly had only one child, not 2-3.
"Sheila, Flora, and Hestia Carrow. Lost both their parents last night. Students who have lost their fathers include Robert Jugson. Ethan Jugson. Sara Jugson. Michael MacNair. Riley and Randy Rookwood. Lily Lu. Sarah Sproch. Daniel Gibson. Jason Gross. Elsie Ambrose..."
Alecto and Amycus Carrow are siblings, and Flora and Hestia are twins (see ch 46). That means one birth per each of their marriages.
One student sitting at the Gryffindor table let out a single cheer, and was immediately slapped by the Gryffindor witch sitting nearby hard enough that a Muggle would have lost teeth.
"Thirty points from Gryffindor and detention for the first month of next year," Professor McGonagall said, her voice hard enough to break stone.
F*** McGonagall for not letting the children of DE victims to have even a hint of justice. Neville's parents were tortured to insanity and he was bullied and made fun of by DE children repeatedly, yet the b**** turned a blind eye. Same with many others. And now suddenly this "I will treat every one of you as I would my own children - and I will protect you as much as I would protect my own children, no more, no less" nonsense.
I hope Jugson's children get their share of taunts later on, just to see how it feels to be on the receiving end.
I sympathize, but... 1) McGonagall has grown since the Roles arc, and is more likely to think about the consequences of her actions, now. 2) She is more maternal than Dumbledore was, he wouldn't have necessarily thought that way and he was in charge after the first dark war 3) Time - it is much more obvious to McGonagall how the newly-orphaned students will react and will be treated, then it would have been for her to realize how much of a target Neville was 4) Similarly, the likely treatment of death eater orphans is probably much more physically severe than what Neville goes/went through 5) Up until the Self Actualization arc, Hogwarts did not take bullying seriously. Many real-world schools still don't
I don't find anything sad about it. The DEs' lives were forfeit anyway. Not refusing to kill a child on command only confirms it.
In that event, Voldemort survives and finds another host. Maybe not sad in the same sense, but certainly a bad situation.
Darnit TGGP, you're right. Right. From now on I use Lord of the Rings for all "sometimes things really are black and white" examples. Unless anyone has some clever reason why elves are worse than Sauron.
Not worse than Sauron, no, but certainly culpable for a lot. For example, they refused to share their knowledge with humans or even with the part-elven Numenoreans Aragorn is descended from - and it was that refusal that got the Numenoreans listening to Sauron in the first place. Of course, the gods are on the elven side, which is even worse, though I fail to see how it absolves the elves.
Also, I imagine that 'night' ('when it's dark out'), is often less than 12 hours of a 24 hour period.
Wouldn't it pretty much have to be half on average?
Are you saying you'd like to bet on something? Before you answer:
"We can rule out an emergent property of the three Hallows in combination. We can mostly rule out someone breaking the established rules of time travel (though I have to qualify that because I don't know how prophecy works)."
I'm not so sure. Harry has observed that magic should b e arbitraarily powerful, and was presumably invented to have the rules it does.

"an incredible spell... is it not?"
A few students on the Ravenclaw side were looking indignant, but for the most part the students just looked relieved, and some Slytherins were chuckling.
Quirrell is joking. He doesn't care about the results of the ministry-mandated test, as he already knew what grades his students had earned from him regardless.
At the beginning Quirrell had said any tests he gave would grade itself in real time so students could help each other for bonus points. So Some method of achieving a similar effect exists.
Unlike nukes, antimatter weapons can be made small enough yeild that you don't flatten the whole of hogwarts when you use one.
...but the amount of antimatter you'd use for that is very small indeed; about 0.000023 grams for an explosive yield equivalent to 1 ton of TNT, going by Wikipedia's numbers. I wouldn't put it past Quirrell to figure out a way to transmute quantities that small, but it'd be tricky; everything we've seen transmuted onscreen has been macroscopic.
Also, all the initial yield would be in the form of highly energetic gamma rays, so we'd likely be looking at something more like a hard radiation pulse than a bomb.

Since HP erased all or nearly all LV/QQ's memories, how is it different from actually killing him?
Harry deleted (or tried to delete, we don't know he succeeded) LV/QQ's episodic memory, not his procedural memory (skills and spells). In principle, this could be fixed - in canon memory charms could sometimes be reversed, and in HPMOR most of LV's memories are backed up by the horcrux network. Sufficiently advanced magic might be able to extract those.
