Regarding Perenelle/Baba Yaga one nice theory is that she didn’t kill her, that their love was genuine and that one became Nicholas and the other became his wife. It would be both a more elegant solution to there having been two immortals and it would be something that Tom wouldn’t think of as he is projecting his own sociopathy on everyone else.
It would also explain why Perenelle became some dude living in some house instead of going full Galactus or whatever. And how a supposed sociopath would be willing to give the stone to Dumbledore of all people for safekeeping.

At 1:37, talking about Quirrelmort’s reason for rescuing Bellatrix Black, you guys totally forgot what Dumbledore told us back in Chapter 61. She was part of the backup resurrection solution:
>his second avenue is nearly as strong: The flesh of his servant, willingly given; the blood of his foe, forcibly taken; and the bone of his ancestor, unknowingly bequeathed.
The resurrection stone projects the spirit of a dead person. In canon Harry used it to summon his parents and Sirius when confronting Voldy. Here Harry upon learning of it speculates about preloading it with yourself as a backup. It’s implied that that is the reason Voldy was able to float around as a spirit in canon. Since it already could project spirits, Riddle used that functionality to enable him to project himself.
