Don't forget about Quirrell's touch in SS/PS.  The only reason that Quirrell
couldn't touch Harry was because Voldemort was possessing his body (living
in his body, whatever you call it).  All the while Harry was hanging on to
Quirrell to keep him in pain so he couldn't curse him Harry's scar felt like
it was spliting open and he was blinded with pain.
