DEJ:

Surely if he has Unicorn blood on him it's because he wanted to 
become immortal(?) As I think I remember Unicorn blood doing, (please 
correct me). Which would be unlikely as he is dead and therefore he 
hasn't drunk the blood, possibly he was about to but got killed.

More likely it's just the colour of blood in ghost form as 
TrekkieGrrrl says. I don't think there is much of a mystery here as 
JKR doesn't really use many clues in PS/SS that are very relevant to 
the entire series.
