My God, You Took an AK for Me!

[Someone]

No: HPFGUIDX 127052



Just been watching a B-grade (even that's being kind here) action 
movie. You know the bit where someone-or-other leaps sideways, 
hollering "NOOOOOO!" at the top of their voice, to take a bullet in 
the chest for Wossname?

It got me thinking. What exactly would happen were this rather 
fanciful scenario to be played out with AK curses rather then bullets? 
The curse is, by all accounts, "unblockable", so would the person 
intercepting it protect the individual at which the AK is directed, or 
would his or her foolhardy act cost them both their lives?

It was Snape, if you want to be specific, that I was picturing as 
taking the AK (for Harry, naturally).
