Carol responds:
Yes, of course. I caught and corrected my small error but didn't catch
this big one. Obviously, I meant the back of Quirrell's head. 

If you reread my post making that silent substitution, you'll see that
we agree on these obvious details and perhaps you'll turn your
attention to the point I was making rather than the type of slip that
happens when your fingers are working faster than your brain. Or is it
the other way around?

Let's try that again, shall we?

"I forgot to mention that Harry's ascribing the pain in his scar to
Snape's piercing glance when it's really caused by Voldemort looking
out the back of *Quirrell's* head is straight from the books. Both the
reader and the filmgoer are supposed to see and judge Snape as Harry
does (but perhaps adult readers and viewers will have reservations)
until the surprise revelation of Quirrell in front of the Mirror of
Erised and Dumbledore's (partial) explanation of Snape's behavior,
which, IIRC, is absent from the film. But his continued antagonism
toward Harry in both books and films keeps us wondering where his
loyalties lie."

Make sense now, I hope? 

Carol, who has been known to substitute Snape's name for Harry's and
Voldemort's for Dumbledore's and should, admittedly, pay more
attention to what she actually tupes
