Consider this bit from PS/SS:

"That is because it is a monstrous thing, to slay a unicorn," said
Firenze. "Only one who has nothing to lose, and everything to gain,
would commit such a crime. The blood of a unicorn will keep you alive,
even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. You have
slain something pure and defenseless to save yourself, and you will have
but a half-life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your
lips."

Does the above apply to Voldemort using Harry's blood?  Is he now
cursed, as a result of slaying something pure and defenseless (Lilly)
and then taking blood through which Lilly's love flows?   And/Or will
the Flesh, Blood, and Bone incantation, cute though it is, *not*
protect him from the curse he acquired from drinking the unicorn's
blood?  In any case, are his days now truly numbered because he's
slowly dying of a disease that only afflicts totally evil beings called
"Hate Cancer"?
