| Was Professor Quirrell good or bad?
I've always wondered if he was good or bad becuase i know he went to Albainia where voldemort was hidding but did he stumble accross him or go looking for him?
Also how did Voldemort come to be on the back of Quirrells head? Because Voldemort had lost all his powers so would not be able to prefom any magic, this would then suggest that Quirrell had to help him???
Surely if Quirrell was good instead of helping him would he not have reported it to the ministry of magic?
:-)

I think quirrell ran into his mangled excuse of a body in a Forrest in albania. Maybe he still had a few powers. Which let him transport his head into the back of quirrells? Or quirrell just used his wand to transport it.
I wouldn't necisserily say he was bad, because voldemort was brainwashing him like he was brainwashing ginny in COS and he was making him do lots of dark and dangerous things.

He was weak. He was corrupted easily.

I agree that he was weak and so Voldermort could have easily threatened him for the use of his head. But how likely is it that you stumble across Voldermort? In order to find him you would have to go looking for him.

I don't think that Quirrell would have had a choice in the matter. Given the reputation Lord Voldemort had, even in a weakened state, the Wizarding World was terrified of a return or a whisper of his existence. I think that when Quirrell came into contact with him, he was far to gullible and easily fooled for Voldemort to not take advantage.

He was good .. Though, we can really consider him as having a low personality , judging from how he was possessed .. He seemed a little weak against Voldemort  .However the Dark Lord truly was powerful even without a body .. Maybe he was subdued under a Curse ..

I feel like Quirrell was originally completely good, but was ultimately weak overall. He wasn't strong enough as a person to refuse an offer from someone who could ultimately do him harm. I feel like, if he did find Voldemort (in whatever form) in Albania, he would've been very easily convinced into sharing a body with him. Anything could've brought on his allegiance: fear, a small hope for some kind of power in the future, a lack of strength and confidence in his own abilities as a wizard and person. From the small part he had in the series, I gathered that he was a man without much self confidence. So when someone who used to be the most feared wizard in all of the world, who controlled so many people and had so much power demanded his assistance, I think it was too much for him to deny. He might've been too scared to deny the offer, or just really wanted a piece of the power Voldemort would one day gain back.

I think that voldemort was possessing him because he was the only option to get his own body.

Quirrell was probably good and like any other person but was very weak and just followed in what Voldemort asked him. I bet he was too scared to argue.

Personally I'm not too sure if it was a "weakness" thing. I think it was a mixture of Quirrell wanting power and Voldemort sweet talking him into it. And once Voldemort gets his hands on you he doesn't let you go. By the time the fear set in he couldn't run. Voldemort may have been weak but he does still have powers that are extraordinary and difficult to resist.

I think that he may have been good at point, but like Peter Pettigrew, was easily "swayed" to the Dark Lord's side by promises of great power and fame. He was eager to serve his Master in exchange for future promises but once Voldemort took possession of his body and he had realized his mistake, it was too late for him. Quirrel was most likely someone no one would notice and that was why Voldemort picked him. Voldemort wanted to secretly gain strength and thus didn't want to draw too much attention to himself until he was back to full power.

I don't think Quirrell was bad. Quirrell was possessed by Voldemort and that wasn't his fault.

Professor Quirrell was neither good nor bad, but he was of weak character.

He was weak. I would say that he wasn't evil, but that he wasn't really that mentally strong either. He allowed himself to be corrupted by Voldemort, by the time he was at Hogwarts, it is safe to say that yes, he was evil.

Well there are always two sides of a coin. Quirrell, he can be taken both ways.
He could have been an aspiring(!) bad person, who wanted to have some fame for himself. To see himself doing something great. He might not have gone in search of Voldemort, but of something else. Accidents happen and he meets Voldemort who brainwashes him and takes control of him, with Quirrell's own help.
Or, he was actually good. He ran into Voldemort in Albania. It was mentioned that Voldemort had some powers. He used to posses the animals in the forests. So he might have used the power in a more profound way and possessed Quirrell.

On Pottermore Rowling said Quirrell purposely sought out Voldemort. She said he was brilliant in defensive theory, but terrible at defensive practice. He sought out Voldemort believing he could control him and learn more powerful magic from him.
