> 5) Who is the cloaked figure drinking unicorn blood? Is it Quirrell!Mort or only Voldemort?

Geoff:
I'm just going to answer this one for the moment.

It has to be Quirrell. When Harry meets Voldemort later in the 
back of Quirrell's head, Voldemort says:

'"See what I have become?" the face said. "Mere shadow and vapour.. 
I have form only when I can share another's body... but there have 
always been those willing to let me into their hearts and minds... 
Unicorn blood has strengthened me, these past weeks... you saw 
faithful Quirrell drinking it for me in the Forest... and once I have 
the Elixir of Life. I will be able to create a body of my own..."'

(PS "The Man with Two Faces" p.211 UK edition)

This leaves no room for any other conclusion that the figure was 
Voldemort-possessed Quirrell.
