The rest of it was bound because of the other 5 or 6 horcruxes. From what I understand, Voldemort had already made at least 4 or 5 horcruxes at the time. Voldemort's time with Quirrell came to an end, of course. Then shit hit the proverbial fan. He cannot “pass on" and he cannot go back and become a ghost. Mainly because of Dumbledore. The first time Vodemort "died" it was quite different. The killing curse rebounded and destroyed his body and part of his soul went into the Harry's body. Especially the Ministry. When Harry wakes up in the hospital ward, Dumbledore tells him that Voldemort left him (Quirrell) to die. All of his soul fragments ceased to exist the moment their containers were broken beyond magical repair. Names often have deeper meanings in the "Harry Potter" universe, and Voldemort is no exception. Sort of. He hadn't overthrown everything before that. In the book, however, Quirrell’s skin blisters and he cries out in pain, someone calls Harry’s name, Quirrell’s arm is wrenched away and then Harry passes out. But Voldemort only consisted of that "soul." The attack at Godric's Hollow took place on 31 October (Hallowe'en), 19811 - which was a Wednesday.2 The attack happened not even a week after Peter Pettigrew was made the Potters' Secret Keeper. For “Harry Potter” fans, it’s hard to forget the striking imagery of Voldemort’s death in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.” The Dark Lord disintegrates into nothing in the iconic moment, but before filmmakers arrived at that scene, apparently he was just going to make like a tree and leave. Harry then asks why Quirrell couldn’t touch him; Dumbledore explains that the kind of love and sacrifice that Lily made in dying for Harry gives a person some protection forever. He walked over her body, pointed his wand at Harry, and cast the Killing Curse. Dumbledore says that Quirrell has died, but Harry merely delayed Voldemort’s return to power. He cannot become a ghost because he destroyed most of his soul. I know that she stepped in front of Harry to protect him and the spell 'rebounded' and she died in the process. So what exactly happened to Voldemort after he killed Lilly Potter? What if everything had happened the way J.K. Rowling wrote, except that Harry didn’t wake up again after Voldemort killed him in the Forbidden Forest? As it turns out, Voldemort turned Quirrell into a Horcrux, of sorts — a fact none of us readers could have known way back in the days of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
