Drinking Unicorn Blood

Let me reach the *whole* way back to PS/SS for a little bit.  I've been 
thinking about those "Is Quirrell really dead posts?" and I have a big 
question.  "The blood of a unicorn will keep you slive, even if you are an 
inch from death, but at a terrible price." 
(US "Adult" Paperback 322)  Shouldn't the unicorn blood Quirrell drank keep 
him alive?  Does drinking the blood only work for a short time?  I know it's 
not like the Sorcerer's Stone, but shouldn't that have helped him a little 
bit?  I'm pretty sure I'm just confused as to how the whole unicorn blood 
drinking process works...

start reading HP until after GoF, and is upset that she won't be able to buy 
it until June 22 at the earliest.)
