Professor Quirrell and the handshake in the pub.

Ok, so if I have this right . . .

The reason that Professor Quirrell did not "burn up" when shaking 
Harry's hand in the pub is:  He was not yet sharing his body with 
Voldemort.

Reasons I deem this to be true:

1. He shakes his hand in the pub, same day as the volt is emptied, 
but this is before it's emptied by Hagrid, also same day as break in.
SS. p 70

2. When he gets to school, there is specific mention made that 
Quirrell is sporting a new turban.  Sounds like he never wore one 
before, and there's suspicion that he's wearing garlic under it 
because it smells so bad. (Decaying Voldemort?)  SS p 122 "Harry 
spotted Professor Quirrell, too, the nervous young man from the Leaky 
Cauldron.  He was looking very peculiar in a large purple turban."

3. First night at school, SS p 126.  As Professor Quirrell turns his 
head to look at Professor Snape, and Professor Snape is looking past 
that turban to look at Harry, that's when the shooting pain which 
warns Harry that Voldemort or mortal danger is near occurs.  I think 
this is because Professor Quirrell is facing away from Harry, and 
Voldie can see him through the turban.

4. The incident where Harry hears Professor Quirrell complaining that 
he doesn't want to do something, and Harry believes he's talking to 
Professor Snape.  Harry looks into the room, and sees a door open at 
the other end of the room, but said he vowed not meddle in things 
where weren't his affairs again.  SS p 246.

5. When he's in the forest, it's a man under the cloak drinking the 
unicorns blood, not a weird figure.  (mistake in the movie, but we 
won't discuss that here ;o) )  SS p 256.

6. This last scene is of course made clear by Quirrell in front of 
the mirror of Erised.  First SS p 290 Quirrell explains Harry's 
hearing him in the room.  That it's sometimes hard to follow his 
master's instructions.  

7. SS p 291 Quirrell explains that Voldemort was mad at him for 
failing to retrieve the stone from Gringotts, so he is keeping a 
closer watch on Quirrell.

8. SS p 293  Voldemort speaking "Unicorn blood has strengthened me, 
these past weeks . . . you saw faithful Quirrell drinking it for me 
in the forest . . ."  So it was Quirrell who drank the blood.

So does any of this make sense, am I on the right track?  Or has the 
flu bug gone to my brain?
