Geoff:
There is also the question of whether he actually killed Quirrell.

Regarding moaning Myrtle, surely the Basilisk killed her, according to 
her own testimony in COS.

Slightly OT, there seems to be some confusion about Dorcas Meadowes' 
name. In my Bloomsbury volume, her surname is spelt with an 'e', 
elsewhere - including the Lexicon -it doesn't appear to be. Just out of 
sheer pedantry, I wonder which is correct.
