That's what I think too that Quirrell had...Yes! That's what I think too that Quirrell had a big part in showing that appearances can definitely be deceiving. Evil isn't always red eyes. Sometimes it's a bow on the head, or in this case a turban. I feel like it was a mixture of the two. Voldemort has to be incredibly persuasive to have the following that he does, and Quirrell was weak and power hungry. He had that whole, "I'll show them!" mantra going on. I'm sure he didn't bargain for what he got though.JezzebellJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810958025835878964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608375057255171876.post-56807275896827100282016-07-29T09:28:08.904-04:002016-07-29T09:28:08.904-04:00I really love what you said about appearances.

It's always interesting rereading SS and seeing Harry, Ron, and Hermione trying to stand up for "poor Quirrell" when they think Snape's trying to get info from him. I wonder if their actions made it easier for him to work with Voldemort or harder. Either way, like you said, Quirrell chose to work for Voldemort and he definitely pays for it.

So along with Harry, I learned a valuable lesson that evil could be lurking where you least expect it!Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608375057255171876.post-35370412056442115362016-07-28T07:23:08.850-04:002016-07-28T07:23:08.850-04:00I agree: Quirrell was weak and I think it's sa...I agree: Quirrell was weak and I think it's safe to say he was hungry for power. I know that Voldemort can be really persuasive too so that was the perfect combination for: yeah ok, you can hitch a ride in the back of my head like a parasite O.O <br /><br />It also marks the first of MANY times that Harry wrongly suspects Snape...but more than that, it's crazy how Voldemort came so close to rising again the moment Harry set foot in Hogwarts!Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.com
