Quirrel, full of hatred, greed, and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good.”

    “Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
    Teach us something please,
    Whether we be old and bald,
    Or young with scabby knees,
    Our heads could do with filling
    With some interesting stuff,
    For now they're bare and full of air,
    Dead flies and bits of fluff,
    So teach us something worth knowing,
    Bring us back what we've forgot,
    Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
    And learn until our brains all rot...”

    “Enter, stranger, but take heed
    Of what awaits the sin of greed,
    For those who take, but do not earn,
