Hey, I just started rereading the series from the beginning and I noticed something weird in the first book.
Hagrid about Quirrell - "Oh, yeah. Poor bloke. Brilliant mind. He was fine while he was studyin' outta books but then he took a year off ter get some first-hand experience...They say he met vampires in the Black Forest, and there was a nasty bit o' trouble with a hag -- never been the same since. Scared of the students, scared of his own subject -- now, where's me umbrella?" (p70-71, American Edition)
This seems to imply that Quirrell has already been teaching at Hogwarts for a while, but that doesn't fit with the curse since Voldemort tried to get the job. Continuity error or am I missing something?
