H-hello... I'm Pro... Professor Quirrel...
What? I'm not still pretending to be harmless? Nevermind, then.
I taught at Hogwarts as the Muggle Studies teacher for an unspecified amount of time before considering taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. As a stupid move, I decided to travel to Albania for hands-on experience with the Dark Arts and Creatures. I met the Dark Lord there, drifting as a lost soul without a body. He promised me vast amounts of power, and being the idiot I was, I believed him. Needless to say, it resulted in a permanently bald scalp, irreversible emotional damage, and my imminent demise.
Some misconceptions about me:
Harry did not see me die in reality, but since certain people like to distort the truth. They say that he made me fall into ashes, and he saw me die before the Dark Lord knocked him unconscious. This error will cause some problems later in his life, since Harry should be seeing the Thestrals already in his second year if he'd seen me suffer a horrible death.
The Dark Lord did not possess me until after he met Harry in the Leaky Cauldron in reality, so I shook Harry's hand and suffered no ill effects. In the distorted version, I am shown wearing my classic turban already in the Leaky Cauldron and I pointedly avoids shaking hands with Harry. This is also incorrect.
My year off from teaching was not the year just before Harry's first. The essay Quirrel's Leave of Absence discusses this in detail.
By the way, I do NOT stuff Garlic in my Turban. Wolfsbane works much better.

Quirrell's Notebook
An old and worn journal found under various stacks of heavy textbooks. The green and black cover is covered with badly drawn Dark Marks, and quite a few potion stains.

Don't touch my turban.
