If there was garlic in Quirrel's turban or there never was any 
garlic in the turban, just Voldie hitching a ride.

It would be funny if Quirrell put garlic in his turbin to fight off 
Voldemort's possesion. Maybe the real Vampire is Voldemort (as others 
have mentioned). Maybe Quirrell wasn't a willing participant in his 
possesion? 
For example:
Quirrell's confrontation with Harry at the end of book 1 is very 
peculiar.  Harry tells Quirrell that he had heard him crying in a 
classroom(?) and Quirrell responds that he sometimes has trouble 
following his master's orders (not exact wording). I wonder if 
Quirrell was forced into submission by Voldemort?  
Wasn't Voldemort very weak when he initially took over Quirrell's 
body? Perhaps spells (or potions) where needed (early on) to keep 
Quirrell submissive while Voldy's possesion was taking hold. The 
classroom scene may have been one of the times that Quirrell 
attempted to break through V's possesion? Maybe Quirrell was doing 
the counter curse and Snape was actually cursing Harry during the 
Quidditch game? Regardless, it's obvious that by the end of book 1, 
Quirrell is taken over completely by Voldemort (except for the moment 
Q shows fear in his face). I wonder what side Snape is talking about 
when has asks Quirrell were his loyalties lie?  

I realize that at the end of book 1 Quirrell sets the record straight 
about Snape, telling Harry that Snape is on DD's side? Why would 
Voldemort do this?  Why exonerate Snape if Snape is your enemy?
It's also interesting because Tom Riddle tells Harry (in book 2) that 
Ginny was forced into submission.  Riddle also clears Ginny of any 
guilt. Interesting...
