Who killed Professor Quirrell?

Lily Potter died to protect Harry. In doing so, she cast a powerful protection spell. Professor Quirrell, who was sharing his body with Voldemort, tried to take the stone from Harry and intended to cause him harm. So when he touched Harry, the protection spell caused Quirrell to suffer severe burns. Voldemort abandoned Quirrell and left him to die.


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.


Why was Professor Quirrell turned into stone after Harry Potter touched him?

Professor Quirrell suffered severe burns and blisters when he touched Harry Potter. In the movie he began to crumble away. This is because Lily Potter sacrificed herself for her son and Lord Voldemort could not harm him. As Professor Quirrell was sharing his body with Voldemort, he too could not touch him.


What is the final showdown in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?

The final showdown occurs in the last chamber when Professor Quirrell tries to get the Philosopher's Stone from Harry and is badly burned. Harry, realising Quirrell cannot touch him without being injured, uses this to his advantage and touches Quirrell's face, preventing him from stealing the Stone and killing Harry.


Did Harry Potter fight Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?

No. Lord Voldemort wasn't really alive, he was only a part of his soul and had no body to host that piece. Hence why he was able to share a body with Professor Quirrell. When his hosts body died, Voldemort managed to survive but only just.

When Quirrell attempted to take the stone from Harry, he began to suffer extreme pain. Harry used this to his advantage to protect both himself, and the philosopher's stone.
