Hmm. On first reading, I just took the premonitions as being an indicator of how close we are to the apocalypse, not necessarily being caused by Harry’s resolution. And yet you’re right; both the premonitions we’ve seen so far immediately followed Harry’s resolving something.
The first resolution was Harry saying that he would destroy Azkaban, whether it meant ruling Britain or summoning arcane magics to blow the building up, and that those who support Azkaban are the villains.
This resolution was Harry saying that if his war caused a single death, he would start killing villains as fast as possible.
So if these are all related, I guess all Quirrell needs to do is make Harry remember both those resolutions after someone dies and while he’s in his Dark Side, and then sit back and watch as Harry exterminates 90% of the British population.
Well, no, if we’re using the trial votes as the gauge, it’s probably like 70/30? Maybe? But I was thinking of not only those who would sentence Hermione to Azkaban, but all those who support Azkaban in general, which is surely a significantly higher percentage.
I wasn’t referring to the actual vote, but rather to the reaction to Harry’s speech.
Some of the members of the Wizengamot were looking abashed at the Boy-Who-Lived’s admonition, and a few others were nodding violently to the old wizard’s words. But they were too few. Harry could see it. They were too few.
And that’s just those who agree that Children shouldn’t be exposed to dementors, and it seems to be like it’s <20%. It’s probably only around .1% of the population who don’t want anyone of any age given to the Dead Things.

More like 60%, I think.
Never mind, the “far too few” comment Harry makes during the trial means you’re likely correct.
