Or that, as it began by one breaking a secret for a bad reason, it
will end with one breaking a secret for a good reason.

I hope that website's servers weren't in New Orleans.

Quirrell!Mort states "I see myself handing it to my Master." Not use -
give it away, presumably exactly what Harry was intending to do in
giving it to DD. Yet Harry can see it and Quirrell can't. Bollocks. >>

To me, Quirrel wanted to use the Stone, saw himself using the Stone,
to please his Master. To me, that is a Use in a way that 'preventing
the bad guy from getting it' is not.

Isn't that Godel's Theorem or something?

I still like (for literary reasons, not because I think it's what Jo
wrote) the idea that the Death Eaters are bound to LV's death in such
a way that they die if he does (hence the name Death Eaters) and that
is how they all knew he hadn't died at GH. So if Snape is really
trying to kill LV (for revenge or for goodness or to please
Dumbledore), he knows the cost is he will die if he is successful.

Welcome back! How nice to see you! Just the other day, I was telling
one of my friends that your list of childhood mistaken notions was one
of the funniest things I've ever read in my life.
