Could the thing in the mirror be the Resurrection Stone, instead of the Philosopher’s one? Linking Hallows seems more likely to lead into the prophecies about Harry than simply retrieving Flamel’s stone.
I think it’s more likely that Quirrell has the Resurrection Stone. When Harry shows him the Deathly Hallows symbol, he cuts their meeting short and hurries off somewhere. In canon, the stone was set into the Gaunt family ring, which Quirrell would have seen and would know the location of (it is implied that HPMOR follows the canon relationship between Tom Riddle and his family: “I have long since resolved my parental issues to my own satisfaction”, “my family are long since dead at the Dark Lord’s hand”, Snape and Moody meeting at Tom Riddle Senior’s grave).

How many of the objections you threw out in this thread do you believe now?
Could you be more specific? There was a lot going on in that thread, and I’m not sure which objections you’re referring to.
Excellent point.
Perhaps, especially since I assumed the Philosopher’s Stone was under the lampshade in Dumbledore’s office.
