J.K. Rowling’s thoughts
Quirinus was a Roman God about whom there is not much information,
although he is commonly associated with war – a clue that Quirrell is not
quite as meek as he appears. ‘Quirrell’, which is so nearly ‘squirrel’ – small,
cute and harmless – also suggested ‘quiver,’ a nod to the character’s innate
nervousness.
