>I have also wondered whether, if Harry hadn't shown up, if Quirrell
would have just been stuck... Dumbledore's spell made it such that
only one who wanted to find the stone, find it but not use it, would
be able to get it. So if Harry hadn't gone after it, Quirrell never
would have gotten it, would he?<

This is *exactly* why I think Dumbledore had *no* thoughts of Harry
going after the Stone. Dumbledore has set a trap, a way to catch
the dark wizard or witch going after the Stone in the first place.
It was not a testing ground for young Harry.
Harry very nearly screwed the entire plan and very nearly got
himself and his friends killed. I think Dumbledore was happy Harry
made it through, and I think he was happy Harry showed such amazing
initiative, but I think he was *horrified* when he first realized
Harry had gone after the Stone.
Those are my thoughts anyway. :)
