How do you think Quirellmort did it?

spoiler for DH
Spoiler:

the trio did it in DH, but quirellmort did it much better, flawlessly (except for the fact that nothing was there) he didn't bust out on a dragon, and if he had help from a goblin he didn't turn on him.

if you remember from DH Griphook says that the security on empty vaults are quite loose and quirrel had voldemort on his side which i think would give him a definant advantage

so you think there are no enchantments on empty vaults? could be...he'd still have to get in without the goblins seeing him though. I don't think he'd have an invisibility cloak.

He didn't rob Potters vault though, he robbed one of the Hogwarts ones. And Dumbledore probobly made sure he could get in to see that he had moved the stone to the school - to ultimitly set up the meeting of Harry and Voldermort.

Remember though Lord Voldemort was with Quirrell, so he could have imperiused a goblin to let them in, find out that the vault was empty and leave, very simple - much like what Harry, Ron and Hermione do in DH

It still would have been Voldemort controling Quirrell. And there's some descrepencty to the no body thing - because in book 4 he's babymort so he has some form of a body.

I think Wormtail did something to him in between SS/PS and GoF that gave him a body. That's just my theory, though, not fact.

I think it is just plain weird that the bank that is so safe turns out to not be very safe.

You're also forgetting that in DH they got caught because the goblins had "special instructions" about the Lestrange vault. They realised something was up before they'd even gotten near the vault.
