Shelley:
I think it's pretty clear that DD did not kill Quirrell; Voldemort did when 
he possessed Quirrell in the first place, and once the two were separated, 
dead was imminent. DD may have been able to extract a memory from Quirrell 
before that final dead breath was taken, but even if extracting a memory 
hastened the process, it was a certainty that Quirrell was not long for this 
earth (a few hours maybe) anyway. Personally, I think that Quirrell only had 
a few minutes when DD found him and got the memories from him.
