The final showdown occurs in the last chamber when Professor Quirrell tries to get the Philosopher's Stone from Harry and is badly burned.

Did Harry Potter fight Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?

How did Harry beat the troll in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?

Harry was under the protection spell his mother offered when she sacrificed herself for him. This lead to an "old magic" being bound between Harry and Voldemort which meant that it was impossible for Voldemort to touch him in anyway (physical, or magical). This lead to both Voldemort's first and second defeat in the first book. Professor Quirrell (while Voldermort being bound to his soul) tried to choke Harry but once Harry touched him with his bare hands, the part Harry touched began to burn severely. Then as Quirrell tried for a second time to kill him to obtain the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone, Harry touched his face and his entire body began to burn. This duel between Harry and Voldemort (Quirrell) almost killed Harry, but Dumbledore came just in time to save him. Voldemort's soul then left the remains of Quirrell and departed for wherever he went until resurfacing three years later during the fourth book.


Why didn't Lord Voldemort want to kill Harry in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?

Lord Voldemort did want to kill Harry. He promised that he wouldn't because Harry had the philosopher's stone and Voldemort wasn't powerful enough to take it off him, but Voldemort was unlikely to actually keep that promise even if Harry had joined his side and handed the stone over.The only reason Voldemort didn't try to kill Harry is because he had no body, he was sharing Quirrell's but had no actual control over him.


Did Harry Potter mother gives her life to protect him?

Yes, Harry's mother did give her life to protect him. Her sacrifice conferred a special magical protection on him for a long time. This allowed Harry to survive both when Voldemort tried to kill him immediately after killing his parents and again in Harry's first year at Hogwarts, when Voldemort was possessing Professor Quirrell.
