Linda:
I like this point about the timing.  Very possibly DD put the Mirror 
in the obstacle course BECAUSE he realized Quirrel (or someone in 
the school) was trying to get to the stone.

Linda:
I don't think it was the same troll because the canon states the 
troll was even bigger than the one HRH had seen before.  So, unless 
it is still growing, we can assume it is a different one.
