Whom did Voldy possess before Quirrell?

Here's a sentence that Quirrell!Mort says in the end of SS/PS, which
has some interesting implications I failed to notice before:

SS/PS, Ch. 17 p. 293 US:
"See what I have become?" the face said. "Mere shadow and vapour... I
have form only when I can share another's body... but there have
always been those willing to let me into their hearts and minds...

"Willing"? Hearts and minds"? This doesn't sound like some small
animals and snakes. So whom did Voldy possess before Quirrell and was
that before or during the time he was vapor? Note the "those" and
"always". We're likely talking here about several people during a long
time. Reminds you of "they, who knew the steps I took, long ago, to
guard myself against mortal death?" (GoF, Ch. 33, p.648 US).  It's the
DEs that Voldy is talking about here. 

The other interesting implication of this SS/PS sentence is that maybe
Voldy can't possess anyone just like that. He needs the person to be
"willing" to let him in. Remember this myth about vampires and demons?
They can't enter a house for the first time unless they are invited.
Quirrell had to be convinced that he was "a foolish young man, full of
ridiculous ideas about good and evil". It seems Voldemort had to show
him first that "there is no good and evil, there is only power, and
those too weak to seek it" before he could actually take control.
Ginny had to share her fears and secrets, steal the diary and hide her
suspicions about what she was doing and couldn't remember. And Harry?
Harry had already had a connection with Voldy, and he was angry at DD
the whole year, and just before he was actually possessed he had tried
to perform an Unforgivable curse. 

Any thoughts?
