Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Good vs. Evil Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Quote #7

RON: Speak for yourself. All right there, Harry?

HARRY: My scar. It keeps burning.

HERMIONE: It's happened before.

HARRY: Not like this.

Harry's connected to Voldemort through the scar, which later movies delve into further. For now, it's enough to know that he's linked to his nemesis in some way, and that that connection won't be severed just because Harry doesn't want it.

Quote #8

HARRY: You? No. It can't be...Snape. He was the one…

QUIRRELL: Yes. He does seem the type, doesn't he? Next to me, who would suspect, p-p-poor s-stuttering Professor Quirrell?

HARRY: B-but, that day, during the Quidditch Match, Snape tried to kill me.

QUIRRELL: No, dear boy. I tried to kill you! And trust me, if Snape's cloak hadn't caught fire and broken my eye contact, I would have succeeded. Even with Snape muttering his little counter-curse.

HARRY: Snape was trying to...save me?

Good and evil aren't always what they appear to be. The jury's still out on Snape— he has seven more movies to show his true colors—but for now at least, he's a long way from the villain he appears to be.

Quote #9

VOLDEMORT: There is no good and evil. There is only power, and those too weak to seek it.

No one ever thinks of themselves as evil, not even Voldemort…or whatever part of Voldemort is slithering around on the back of Quirrell's skull.
