How did Professor Quirrell shake Harry Potter's hand in the Leaky Cauldron when he can't touch Harry without being burned?

Lord Voldemort was not yet sharing Quirrell's body at the time of shaking Harry's hand.
This is a common misconception because when we first meet Quirrell in the movie he is already wearing a turban. However, in the book once Harry gets to Hogwarts he mentions that Quirrell has started to wear a turban.
