Why have a noticeable bald spot instead of hair?
Possibly it’s an illusion or Someone Else’s Problem Field (Perception Filter) such that the evil is still there, most people just don’t see it because they don’t want to.
Presumably some people knew the real Quirrel person back when Voldermort was still alive. Maybe he just naturally had a bald patch all along.
Also, we don’t know that hiding a bald spot is possible (or safe). For instance, making someone pretty using magic is known to be very dangerous.
...in which case the bald patch isn’t evidence to us that Voldemort is or was there.
Maybe a blind spot is an empty spot, and an empty spot on a head = bald spot? Hair would be a presence, not an absence.
Presumably when one reads a book under the Interdict of Merlin, one reads blank pages, not mildly obscene limericks about a man from Nantucket.
I think a sensible wizard would cover any blind spot they create with something very ordinary, if this is possible.
