The Quirrel exception - I think Quirrel knew the 'backdoor' to most of
the challenges. That is, he got around them without actually
confronting the challenge, either by knowing how to by-pass it, or in
the case of the Riddle of the Potions, knowing the answer in advance.
I think he knew how to avoid the Devil's Snare, I think he knew
exactly what key he was looking for, I think he by-passed the chess
game altogether, and I think he knew which potion bottle to drink from
without solving the riddle. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.


Me (Izaskun):

I totally and utterly agree with you. And to those who don't agree, who think that the challenges and protections were too easy, just a question. If it was indeed so easy, why didn't Quirrell try to steal the stone before?? Anytime would have do. 

No. He didn't try to steal it before because he didn't have all the information. He needed to find out first all the protections and challenges he would face and how to pass them. 

Cheers, IZaskun
