I'll take this one.

>From SS (hardcover, US edition), page 122:

"...Harry spotted Professor Quirrel, too, the nervous young man from 
the Leaky Cauldron.  He was looking very peculiar in a large purple 
turban."

While it doesn't *technically* say he hadn't been in a purple turban 
before, it does imply that he wasn't, simply because Harry either 
wouldn't consider it peculiar that he was wearing one (as he had been 
wearing one before), or he would have considered it peculiar the 
first time he met him, in the Leaky Cauldron.

Jen (who didn't quite have the passage memorized, per se, but knew 
almost exactly where to look... almost as bad.)
