'Do you have what it takes to train security Trolls?' I think Quirrel
contacted a firm that provided security Trolls and put it into place,
or let DD do it (and pay for it). Security Trolls are trained and thus
won't attack humans for no reason. Thus Q would have provided a good
protection measure, he would have kept his talent for handling trolls
a secret and would at the same time have had a protective measure that
was not a problem for him at all.
