Does he consider the possibility that Quirrell is inimical, but not Voldemort?
This was unclear—I meant that Quirrell could be inimical without being Voldemort.
The idea of Voldemort not being a bad guy (without being dead)-- he’s reformed or maybe he’s developed other hobbies—would be an interesting shift. Voldemort as a gigantic force for good operating in secret would be the kind of shift I’d expect from HPMOR, but I don’t know of any evidence for it in the text.
