'No-no-not again, please-'
it sounded as though someone was threatening him. Harry moved closer.
'All right-all right-' he heard Quirrell sob.
next second, Quirrell came hurrying out of the classroom, straightening his turban.
at this instant, harry suspected snape to threaten Quirrell and leave that room from the other door.
who could this be?
Voldemort or Snape.
we found after that the unicorn's death and harry's confrontation with voldemort.
so, if this was about drinking unicorn's blood, then y didnt we see Quirrell in the forest?
if it was voldemort's work to go in the forest and drink blood, then y Quirrell was so terrified?

I believe it was Voldemort telling Quirrel to do it. Quirrel may have been in the forest a the time, just not seen. Voldemort would have been too week to get there on his own. He was able to try and persue Harry, since he had just finished revitalizing himself from the blood.

Yah agreed - this was Voldemort talking - probably via Quirrell, saying he needed another unicorn blood fix - and poor Quirrell knows what a sin it is to kill a unicorn ...
By drinking the blood it would mean his life was cursed as well - as such you can see why he was a little hesitant!
I think if that was Snape then it wouldnt fit in ...
Also remember Harry is prolly reffering back to when he spied Snape and Quirrell in the forest and Snape was 'leaning' on Quirrell - we have a thread on that :D

I agree about it being Voldemort and Quirrell is just afraid of what is happening to his body. It's like he regained a bit of himself for awhile and tried to fight Voldemort off a bit, but just couldn't do it.

As for the Forbidden Forest and the unicorn blood. It is quite possible that Voldemort actually had to drink it himself. I think Quirrell probably slew the unicorn for Voldemort, but then Voldemort had to leave Quirrell's body to drink the blood and then hop back in later. This would make sure that the lifegiving properties would actually reach Voldemort . . .

if this is happening to Quirrell too, then why didnt we see Quirrell in the forest?
we only found a cloak's slithering and someone hidden in it.
so where was Quirrell?

He could easily have been skulking in the shadows, awaiting the return of Voldemort. You see the shadowy figure slithering away, sure, but then the action resumes with Harry, so you don't see where the thing went. It could have just gone back over to where Quirrell was waiting . . .
