For example, Harry ended up with the stone because he wanted the 
Stone, but not to use it. How hard would it be to find some 
impressionable young child to retrieve the Stone in the same manner, 
but who does not have the same protection as Harry had? End result: 
one dead child and one Stone.

NoaniFMI:

No, that is not the case.  After the fact, when DD was speaking with 
Harry he said (paraphrase)  "Only someone who wanted to find the 
stone - but not use it - would be able to obtain it from the mirror."

So it was, essentially, protected from Quirrell.

Bill:

Um, that was what I was saying.  If Quirrell could not get the Stone, 
then all that they had to do was find some child to remove the stone 
for them.
