Hello all,

Have really enjoyed reading the posts which I have had the time to get 
through.  I've only seen the movie once, but wanted to point out one 
detail which bothered me as I watched it.  In the final scene with 
Quirrell and the stone, I seem to remember that we see Voldemort as 
reflected in the Mirror of Erised.  Quirrell is facing Harry, and thus 
Harry (and us, the viewers) are seeing Voldemort in the mirror.  But, 
knowing how the mirror works, this would not be the case.  Is this how 
others remember it? Why didn't they just have Quirrell put his back to 
Harry?
