I lent my book to someone, so I don't have the exact quote, but at the end of 
PS/SS Dumbledore says something along the lines of: Voldemort left Quirrell 
to die. He shows just as little mercy to his followers as to his enemies. 

This actually brings up another question (for me anyway). Did *Dumbledore* 
leave Quirrell to die as well? I think it's more than safe to assume that 
Dumbledore was the one who pulled Harry and Quirrell apart when Harry decided 
to get touchy-feely with Quirrell so he could prevent him from getting the 
stone/killing him. What did he do with Quirrell? Did anything happen between 
Dumbledore and Voldemort? Did Voldemort actually *kill* Quirrell, not just 
leave him to die? From the part where Harry sees him coming out of a 
classroom and thinks he's finally given into Snape, I think its apparent that 
Voldemort was about to cause some kind of harm to Quirrell whilst sharing the 
man's soul/body. 

Hey! That gives me another thought. Do you think the possessor could control 
the possessie's internal self? (like close their lungs, make them hemmorage, 
or (as the lovely person who just entered the room wondering what I'm doing 
up just suggested ^^) squeaze their heart until it explodes.)
