Var Quirrell en villig värd?

11

Kan det utläsas från canon om Quirrell var en villig värd till Voldemort? Var han en supporter till honom innan han blev värd?

Om han lurades, till exempel, genom att möta en försvagad, spöklik form av Voldemort som lovade stor belöning för att hjälpa, och sedan blev han bara tvungen att göra allt det onda han gjorde, jag skulle inte räkna det som en villig värd.

TL; DR: Nej, han var inte en villig värd, men jorden var definitivt där för att han skulle kunna äga (med andra ord hade han det).

"I saw Quirrell as a gifted but delicate boy, who would probably have been teased for his timidity and nerves during his school life. Feeling inadequate and wishing to prove himself, he developed an (initially theoretical) interest in the Dark Arts. Like many people who feel themselves to be insignificant, even laughable, Quirrell had a latent desire to make the world sit up and notice him." (from JK Rowling on Quirrel in Pottermore, Chapter 8).

Pottermore utarbetar det i kapitel 17:

Quirrell set out deliberately to find whatever remained of the Dark wizard, partly out of curiosity, partly out of that unacknowledged desire for importance. At the very least, Quirrell fantasised that he could be the man who tracked Voldemort down, but at best, might learn skills from Voldemort that would ensure he was never laughed at again.

Though Hagrid was correct in saying that Quirrell had a ‘brilliant mind,’ the Hogwarts teacher was both naive and arrogant in thinking that he would be able to control an encounter with Voldemort, even in the Dark wizard's weakened state. When Voldemort realised that the young man had a position at Hogwarts, he took immediate possession of Quirrell, who was incapable of resisting.

While Quirrell did not lose his soul, he became completely subjugated by Voldemort, who caused a frightful mutation of Quirrell's body: now Voldemort looked out of the back of Quirrell's head and directed his movements, even forcing him to attempt murder. Quirrell tried to put up feeble resistance on occasion, but Voldemort was far too strong for him.

Jag tror att Quirrel var en villig värd. Vid sitt möte med den försvagade Mörkherren blev han verkligen övertygad och gick till den mörka sidan. Detta framgår av hans monolog i Filosofens sten kapitel 17.

‘I met him [Voldemort] when I travelled around the world. A foolish young man I was then, full of riddiculous ideas about good and evil. Lord Voldemort showed me how wrong I was. There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it … Since then, I have served him faithfully, […]
