Throughout the year, Quirrell's body weakened drastically from hosting his master's soul, and in order to keep himself and Voldemort alive, Quirrell began to prey on unicorns in the Forbidden Forest and drink their blood.
Who was the hooded figure in the Forbidden Forest?
Firenze says the hooded figure may be waiting for something stronger to restore him to full life. Harry realizes this must be the Elixir of Life, a product of the Philosopher's Stone, and concludes that the hooded creature is Voldemort, who is probably only partially alive, as Hagrid speculated back in July.
Who was in the Forbidden Forest eating the unicorn?
On his way back, Harry learns that the cloaked figure was Voldemort and that he was drinking unicorn blood to sustain himself until he could obtain the Sorcerer's Stone.
It was only after Quirrell failed to procure the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts that he latched onto his body (making him a Horcrux) so he could “keep a closer watch”. With Voldemort's face now sticking out of the back of his head, Quirrell donned a purple turban to hide him.
In the first book, Harry, Hermione, Neville and Draco had to serve detention in the Forbidden Forest. They were tasked with aiding Hagrid in the search for a wounded Unicorn.

Was it Quirrell and Voldemort in the forest?
Quirinus Quirrell first met Lord Voldemort in 1991, in the forests of Albania, where Voldemort subjugated Quirrell into servitude. Quirrell brought him back to Britain, and eventually to Hogwarts. The Dark Lord planned to obtain the Philosopher's Stone and fabricate the Elixir of Life to acquire a body.
Quirrell never lost his soul to Lord Voldemort, but he lost his body and ended up completely subjugated by Voldemort, with his head mutilated and Voldemort able to see out of the back of his head, forcing him to wear a turban.
As Headmaster Albus Dumbledore was a highly intelligent and powerful wizard, he was aware of Quirrell's true nature even though he maintained a relatively civil relationship with him. This was further evidenced by the fact he asked Snape to keep an eye on Quirrell.
He explains also that Quirrell could not touch Harry because Harry was protected by his mother's love. Dumbledore also reveals that it was he who left the invisibility cloak for Harry and explains that there was enmity between Snape and Harry's father, much like the enmity between Malfoy and Harry.
Professor Quirrell was a temporary type of Horcrux while Voldemort inhabited his body, which is confirmed in the Wizarding World. It is possible that Voldemort created more temporary Horcruxes, such as the animals he possessed while in ghostly form.
Why did Voldemort drink unicorn blood if he had horcruxes?
Voldemort's desire to beat death and become immortal was also why he and Quirrell ended up slaying innocent unicorns. Drinking the blood of a unicorn would keep someone alive – even if they were an inch from death. However, it is considered an act of evil to kill something so pure.
Norbert is a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon that Hagrid had acquired as an egg from a mysterious, hooded stranger in the Hog's Head, who turned out to be Professor Quirrell. Hagrid helps the dragon hatch from the egg. Norbert becomes very dangerous and much bigger in the weeks following.
Most fans probably remember that the bodiless remains of Voldemort hid in an Albanian forest to regain strength after baby Harry defeated him in the First Wizarding War. He also returned to the same forest after his host body, Quirrell, was killed in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
Since the pain from his scar was caused by the portion of Voldemort's soul within him trying to escape, Harry did not feel any more pain from the scar once Voldemort had eliminated that portion of soul. until the year 2020, when Voldemort's daughter, Delphini, was plotting his revival via the use of time travel.
While forced to share Quirinus Quirrell's body in 1991-1992, Riddle had also apparently taught the secret to Quirrell, likely for his own convenience. After his death, Riddle's daughter, Delphini, mastered the use of this ability as well, although how she did so without him to help her is unknown.
We sense that Harry's education in personal responsibility is all part of Dumbledore's grand plan in giving Harry the cloak, because after the dragon affair Dumbledore returns the cloak to Harry neatly folded.
Under the influence of her father, Dolores grew up despising her mother and brother for their lack of magical abilities. She was sorted into Slytherin House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and hated her time at the school due to never being given any positions of power.
Snape's explanation to the Death Eaters was that he knew nothing of Voldemort's involvement, but "saw only greedy and unworthy Quirrell attempting to steal the stone." It was confirmed in Deathly Hallows that Snape had been "keeping an eye" on Quirrell on Dumbledore's orders.
Quirrell's wand is alder, 9 inches, and unicorn hair. He is a Half-blood, and his birthday is 26 September. As a Hogwarts student, he was sorted into Ravenclaw.
Hagrid knew who Voldemort was before Voldemort appeared at the political scene of the magical world. He just refuses to use either of his names. And when he gave Harry the name, he gave him the name, Harry had to know. Hagrid very well knew, Voldemort was Tom Riddle.
Umbridge was appointed to the D.A.D.A. teaching post not by Dumbledore, as was customary, but by the Ministry of Magic. She was sent to Hogwarts to monitor the school as well as Dumbledore due to fears that he would try to overthrow Minister Cornelius Fudge.

The most obvious mention of stuttering was the character Professor Quirrell. In the end we discover that Professor Quirrell faked stuttering as to seem aloof and not draw attention to his plotting with the evil Voldemort.
As Dumbledore was suspicious of Quirrell, he had tasked Severus Snape with keeping an eye on the latter. Fearing that the troll may be a diversion, Snape headed to the third floor corridor to head Quirrell off.
Harry gets the stone in his pocket through the Mirror of Erised because he wanted it but did not want to use it (a little spell by Prof Dumbledore). Voldemort is a parasite on the back of Quirrell's head, because he is not yet strong enough to exist independently.
