Quirrell's Tenure (Again)

Dare I bring up the thorny issue of Quirrell's tenure again?  Yes, I 
do dare!  I just came across the following quote in Ch. 12 of 
GoF: "They [HRH] had never yet had a Defence Against the Dark Arts 
teacher who had lasted more than three terms" (UK ed., p. 155).  I 
know this is contradictory to what Hagrid says in SS/PS, but it seems 
as if, at least by Book 4, JKR's intention was to have Quirrell's 
first year at Hogwarts be his last.
