Now let's see - yes, Voldy DID lose his powers (most of them anyway)
when the curse backfired. He was left with the power to possess,
however, and I don't know if Harry got that power from Voldy as well
(and is actually doing that when he has those curious dreams!).

Still, most of Voldemort's powers are gone into Harry. He's somewhere
in Albania (for some reason he was thrown there). He lived as a spirit
and was less than a ghost...

1) He possesses Quirrell.
(He's inside Quirrell's turban. Harry senses this as the
Voldemort-part of the head is towards him AND Snape is looking at him,
possibly with Legilemency. Is Voldemort feeling angry at Snape,
working under Dumbledore etc.?) Harry does NOT have further
scar-attack during Quirrell's class, nor Snape's.

2) Voldemort drinks unicorn blood, often (this probably gives him some
strength to further control Quirrell). Harry witnesses this, and
*right after* feels the pain again. Did Voldemort do this with or
without Quirrell?
Harry's still not getting any attacks in Quirrell's class... (very
interesting notice, that).

3) Harry feels Voldemort when Quirrell is in front of the Mirror of
Erised. Voldemort's ANGRY at Quirrell for not being able to solve the
Mirror-puzzle.

********

At this point, Harry's scar hurts not at Voldemort's presence, but
when he's close and feeling angry. Next we see Voldemort, it's in the
GoF - (Diary!Tom Riddle doesn't really count. That's just a memory).
 
He *can* speak parseltongue. (I'm guessing he *regained* this ability
by possessing snakes. Any snake has this ability).

He has a wand and he *can* use it. (possibly gained by possessing
Quirrell, who was a wizard).

A point of the later happening:

Voldemort INSISTS on using Harry's blood. And why? Because Harry has
his powers!

So, in the ritual, Voldemort regained his powers trough Harry's blood.
I'm not so sure if Lily's sacrificial protection ever was a thing to
be transferred trough blood or if he can touch Harry becuse he has
Harry's blood in his veins?

When Voldemort touches Harry on cheeck, he's not attempting to kill
him and THAT is why he *could* touch him without getting hurt. (Just
like with Uncle Vernon - or what did you think made Harry impossible
to hold?) Sure, Voldemort thinks he got the protection, but somehow I
doubt he does. Further, Dumbledore knows he doesn't.
