Perhaps the plan was always to protect it at Hogwarts, and it was at 
Gringotts while DD worked out the protections.  Hagrid was sent to 
remove the stone, but the teachers involved in protecting it had to 
know roughly when it would be moved - perhaps the attempt by Quirrel 
happened when it did because he knew it was going to be moved.  
Unfortunately (for him) he was just a bit too late.
