So Voldemort seemed okay with the idea of Harry joining him. It's the kind of offer you get from many villains, anyway: join me or die. But, like Cassie said, /Quirrel/ did say he'd kill him. His good/evil/power speech was mostly just him telling how he met Voldemort and how Voldemort changed his views on everything. And Voldemort only mentioned Harry joining him the one time (I believe--I went through it kind of quickly).
