Quirrell and the mirror of Erised ( Harry unneeded in first book )

Technically, Quirrell would see himself giving the stone to his 
master. That is because that is the sole reason he wants to find the 
stone... to appease his master.

On the other hand, Harry doesn't have some ultimate goal with the 
stone. He simply wanted to find it before Quirrell did. (not use it 
or give it away or anything)

That's my take on it anyway...
