Somewhere in the old threads I think, but I’m in a rush and can’t look it up right now. Quick points:
Quirrell organized the whole Dementor visit from the beginning
Quirrell waited until Hermione was running up to the Dementor and would’ve seen it herself anyway to “suddenly notice” Harry’s wand next to the Dementor’s cage
Quirrell suggested the Headmaster leave early, before it was Harry’s turn
Quirrell instructed Harry’s friends to “give him space” even though he probably knew that it was better for Harry to be surrounded by his friends as Dumbledore said
Quirrell undermines Harry’s confidence just before he goes in front of the Dementor (If you can’t do it, I at least will understand)
All plausibly deniable, and exactly Quirrell’s style.

That implies he at least suspects Harry holds a horcrux…
Holy crap.
Why would he want to kill Harry? And if he wanted to, wouldn’t he have done it by now?
Demented Harry is Evil Harry, not dead.
What? The people in Azkaban were close to dead, not cunning evil geniuses. Dementors weaken you and suck the life out of you.
