In SS Chap 7 The Sorting Hat when Harry sees the teachers at their
table (after being sorted), he says of Quirrell

He was looking peculiar in a large purple turban.

Later in the same chapter, when Quirrell is talking to Snape, the
turban is described as 'absurd'.

If it stands out so strangely then, why wouldn't Harry have noticed it
in the Leaky Cauldron?  He certainly noticed Daedalus Diggle's top hat
& Doris Crockford's pipe & ...

If Voldemort was 'indwelling' Quirrell when Harry met him at the Leaky
Cauldron, Quirrell wouldn't have been able to shake his hand:

"P-P-Potter" stammered Professor Quirrell, grasping Harry's hand,....

Quirrell tells Harry in the last chapter that 

"....When I failed to steal the stone from Gringotts, he was most
displeased.  He punished me...decided he would have to keep a closer
watch on me..."

which means Voldemort took possession AFTER July 31.
