Best Answer

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.

He was so evil, and Harry was made so pure by his mother's sacrifice, that he couldn't stand to have Harry touch him.

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.

Why did Remus Lupin bury Severus Snape's flower with Lilly Potter?

Snape had given that flower to lilly, in book/movie 6 Prof. Slughorn talks to Harry about how he used to have a fish. One day he had come back to his office to find a lilly (because it was lilly potter who gave it to him) i a bowl of water. Whenever he touched the flower (he might not have, I dont quite remember if he touched the flower or not) it sank to the bottom then turned into a beautiful fish. When Lilly died the fish had gone as well.
