<<<<<I'll repeat myself here (don't we all) that JKR uses Unicorn imagery around Lily--pure, innocent, strong--and we know from Book 1 what slaying a Unicorn does! Dumbledore said in OOTP that Voldemort *shed 
Lily's blood* which he may have been using metaphorically, but it reminds me of Quirrellmort slaying the defenseless unicorn to drink its blood--Voldemort slayed the innocent at Godric's Hollow in hopes 
of finally drinking from the cup of immortality, and it cursed him. >>>>>>>>>>>>> 

Aggie:
Whilst I understand the similarities that you have pointed out, may I just ask, *how* is there unicorn blood in Lily's blood line?

Unless we are getting into issues which *really* are not mentioned in polite society (and which *surely* would be more heinous than killing one) then HOW is it possible?  

I'm not trying to be obtuse, just curious.
