Anybody else not entirely satisfied with the cursory explanation
given by Dumbledore regarding the Philosopher's Stone?  This great
and 
powerful thing - the pursuit of all alchemists - was just 
destroyed?!?!  I think not.  Dumbledore is holding out big-time with 
this one.  Dumbledore confronted a weakened Voldemort (with Quirrel), 
and the only explanation is that V. got away and the Stone was 
destroyed.  It seems that with V., in as weak a condition as he's
ever 
been, Dumbledore woulda, coulda, shoulda done something more.  We 
don't even know what little happened between them as JKR doesn't 
reveal much (intentionally).  But what a scene it could have been...
