Actually, I see a significant (at least 10%) chance that the person currently known as Quirrel was both the ‘Light Lord’ and the Dark Lord of the last war. His “Voldemort’ persona wasn’t actually trying to win, you see, he was just trying to create a situation where people would welcome a savior...
I’ve suspected something like that at least since Quirrell gave his speech at the end of the armies sequence, and 86 just gave me a lot of new evidence for it. By now I’d say my estimate is somewhere in the neighborhood of 80% for him playing both sides in a similar sense, though I don’t think we have enough evidence to narrow it down to playing Light Lord as such—just to set up a situation where a Light Lord would need to arise.
