As I understand it, unicorn blood doesn't make the drinker immortal, it just 
saves a person from dying. Which (Here comes a brand new theory I *just* 
hatched) might be why Quirrell didn't die.  

In GoF Voldemort says that the animals he lived off died quickly. I've 
started to assume that maybe this is because he had to live off the animals 
'life force', not just because an animal's body couldn't handle being 
possessed. Well, maybe the same thing would happen with a human. 

So maybe the unicorn blood kept them BOTH from dying.
