The incarnation of Vodemort which Frank saw wasn't the same one as 
in SS. Frank saw the "hideous baby" Voldemort, which was grotesque 
indeed. (On the Voldemort page of the Lexicon there is a drawing of 
the "hideous baby" Voldemort...yech.) The face on Quirrell's head 
was more likely a distorted version of his original, Riddle face. It 
would be somewhat changed by all that Dark Magic, but it might very 
well not have the snake influence yet, since he wasn't drinking 
snake venom until a couple of years later.
