Geoff:
You didn't read on a page or so....

Harry talking with Dumbledore (PS p.216 UK edition)

"'Yes, sir. Well, Voldemort's going to try other ways of coming back 
isn't he? Imean, he hasn't gone, has he?'
'No, Harry, he has not. He is still out there somewhere, perhaps 
looking for another body to share..... notbeing truly alive, he 
cannot be killed. He left Quirrell to die, he shows just as little 
mercy to his followers as his enemies.....'"

I'm not even sure that Harry killed Quirrell /indirectly/. That /is/ 
movie contamination... 

Previous conversation (p.215):

"'...No sooner had I reached London than it became clear to me that 
the place I should be was the one I had just left. I arrived just in 
time to pull Quirrell off you - '
'It was you.'
'I feared I might be too late.'
'You nearly were, I couldn't have kept him off the Stone much 
longer  - 
'Not the Stone, boy, you - the effort involved nearly killed you....'"
