I don't necessarily think it was 'other than Harry's blood'. In that
moment, Dumbledore saw the flaw in using Harry's blood, but I think
what else he saw was re-enforce his general opinion of Voldemort.

bboyminn:

You bring up the Unicorn Blood which I think is an excellent point.
Voldemort is ruthless in his quest. He doesn't care if innocent
Unicorns have to die as long as he, himself, is saved. But again, this
brings up the point I made before, and it is a point that I feel
confident that Dumbledore shares. 

Voldemort has made so many decisions in his life that he was
absolutely indisputably convinced were correct. He was so
psychotically convinced of his own self-centered infalability, that he
never bothers to full consider the consequences of his actions. As a
result, Voldemort's life has been a series of hopelessly flawed and
misguided actions. Each one appearing to take him closer to his goal,
but in reality taking him farther away. 

These actions are flawed because Voldemort, in his megalomaniacal
self-absorption and self-delusion, only considers the short term
effect on him and him alone. He doesn't consider Peter's tainted flesh
in the long run. No thought to the fact that Wormtail is coerced as
long as in the moment he gets what he wants. He doesn't consider the
ultimate out come of having drank Unicorn blood. He sees the short
term benifit of using Harry's blood, but fails to look at the greater
consequences. 

In a sense, this could be Voldemort's ultimate downfall, that his life
has been nothing but a series of very bad and poorly thought out
choices. Like so many cracks in a foundation that, in the final battle
with Harry, will ultimately cause the 'building' to fall.

Just a few thoughts.
