On the first day at Hogwarts Harry specifically notices the "odd" turban on Quirells head, meaning he didn't notice it in the Leaky Cauldron so Quirrel more than likely didn't have it on then. He probably obtained the turban and Voldemort sometime between that day and the first day of school (I can get a specific time of any one wants me to do that).

In the book Quirell became attracted to Voldemort's offers of power, and returned to Britain with the Dark Lord. This is in the summer before Harry's frsrt term at Hogwarts.

At first Voldemort allowed Quirrell to act on his own. Quirrell was able to shake hands with Harry in the Leaky Cauldron, and was not wearing the turban, meaning that Voldemort was not possessing him at that point. He was only in Quirell's care.

Voldemort used Quriell to attempt to steal the SS from Gringotts. This was later the same day that Hagrid & Harry visited Diagon Alley to shop for school supplies. After Qurriell failed at this Voldemort decided to keep a closer watch on his new servant.

He took possession of Quirrell's body, AFTER the failed break-in, which caused his face to appear on the back of Quirrell's head. To hide this, Quirrell took to wearing the turban. The funny ordor surrounding Quirrell was NOT garlic but Voldemort's body.

In order to keep Voldemort alive, Quirrell had to kill unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, drinking their blood to provide temporary life-sustaining powers for Voldemort.

However, in the movie, Harry meets Prof. Quirrell in the Leaky Cauldron. He is wearing the turban and does not shake Harry's hand.

At the end of SS in the Book, Voldemort orders Quirell to attack Harry. Harry holds off Quirell until help arrives. Voldemort flees, back in his spirit form. Voldemort's departure causes Quirrell to die.

At the end of the SS movie, Harry kills Quriell by putting his hands on him and turning his body into ash. Voldemort flees in spirit form.

Voldemort was still more or less just a spirit or ghost. He did gain some strength from Quirrell and the unicorn blood BUT he was no way near strong enough to do much more. If he was, then Voldemort would NOT of needed Quirrell in the first place. Also, Voldemort doesn't have his wand yet. He dosen't get that back until GoF.
