I remember the scene where the turban was taken off. I remember not a single
piece of garlic falling out. I believe you mean that Fred and George
gossiped that there was garlic in that turban because it smelled funny
(voldemort most likely) and because Quirrel hung garlic around his office to
pretent he's afraid of vampires.

One could, I suppose, argue that he used garlic to scare Snape away from his
office. On the other hand, if Snape's a vampire who's not afraid of daylight
(he was present during several Quidditch matches) then why should he be
afraid of garlic?

I'm sorry, but your "there's no contest" is extremely premature in my
opinion.
