They’re going to have to reveal Dumbledore’s death anyway, and Quirrell =/= Voldemort would be the default assumption for any uninitiated observer anyway, seeing as their dead bodies were within metres of each other.
To me, the scene looked as though Quirrell had tried to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Perhaps the story is that Quirrell killed the Death Eaters, Voldy killed quirrell, tried to sacrifice Hermione in a dark ritual, but Hermione’s purity killed him.
Or cut that last step, and make it that Harry snapped his fingers.

Imagine the the myths that will come up around this. “Man, if you try to use magic to kill a kid magic will fuck you up, I don’t care who you are.”
