Well, Quirrell could have a sex change and do the
_Rosemary's Baby_ bit.

It's like the paradox where a Christian missionary is eaten by
cannibals (used to happen all the time), they digest his/her body
and it becomes part of theirs, then at the Second Coming how
does it happen that everyone gets resurrected and the missionary
gets his/her body back?

No flames, please, ritual cannibalism is an important Christian rite ;-)
