The Basilisk one is supposedly a dupe, but the accepted answers are to be qualified; one says he knew at some point, the other says it took him some time, though. As per contract - totally agreed, but then again wizards don't exactly comply to some Child Protection Services recommendations... :D | |
| Aug 15, 2018 at 9:26 | comment | added | QuestionAuthority | @Jenayah The first two links don't even address Quirrel being Voldemort. The link about the Basilisk is marked duplicate, the referenced question has a top answer that says Dumbledore knew. About the contract, if it is so easy to create contracts for other people, there is much potential for abuse. | |
| Aug 15, 2018 at 9:24 | comment | added | QuestionAuthority | @Jenayah Dumbledore may or may not have been responsible objectively, but there is no way for Harry to know, and Harry may still blame him. Especially as Dumbledore pretends to know best, he also gets the responsibility. | |

However, for allowing Voldemort to teach, didn't protect them from the Basilisk, forced Harry to participate in the Tournament, that might not really have been Dumbledore's fault (for once): see this and this on Quirrell, this for the Basilisk and this on what happens if you retract from the Triwizard tournament. | |
