Mirror of Erised (was: About the gleam of triumph...)

[Ersatz Harry]

No: HPFGUIDX 58880

All this discussion of the Mirror and Harry's possible recklessness
have got me wondering about the following idea, no doubt discussed
sometime here before.  So I'll keep it short.

While DD might have preferred to keep the Stone hidden, he tried to
ensure that its removal, if it happened, would lead to physical
contact between Harry and whoever Voldemort was piggybacking on,
thereby leading to Voldemort's (temporary) weakening.  Perhaps DD did
not know that Quirrell was Voldemort's carrier, but he might have
guessed that Voldemort was glomming on to *someone* who might try to
steal the Stone.

Ersatz Harry, wondering how Fleur's desire to return and Hermione's
possible visit to Viktor will play out in OoP
