Quirrell's nails

[Hillman, Lee]

Someone else asked what's up with Quirrell's nails and I remembered that I
wanted to mention them in my first post about the movie.
 
In the final mirror scene, as he reaches out to Harry, you can see that
Quirrell's nails are long and filed to rather sharp points, sort of. I
noticed way back in the Vanity Fair layout that Ian Hart had one hand (the
left) with such a manicure and the other with clipped, more masculine
looking nails. 
 
But in the movie, both hands have the manicure. I remember thinking (and
asking) at the time of the VF article, "What's up with that?" and wondering
if they were going to do anything with it.
 
When I saw the movie the first time, and noticed this about his hands, I
flashed the following thoughts:
 
"Oh yeah! His hand had that funky manicure in the Vanity Fair! I wondered if
that would mean anything!" 
 
Then he crumbled, and I thought, "Gee, I guess not."
