The silver from the begging of HPMOR seems unicorn blood. Eliezer said:
Tvira havpbea oybbq vf nobhg ceriragvat qrngu, jr unir gur vaterqvragf sbe n zntvp evghny.
Tvira gur cebcurpvrf gung evghny vf cebonoyl tbvat gb unir n punapr bs qrfgeblvat gur jbeyq. V guvax vg cebonoyl qbrf.
Two unrelated ideas:
Drain Hermionie's blood and fill her up again with unicorn blood. (Would that even work?)
Kill a dementor and use it to make a horcrux. (Does killing a dementor spilt your soul?)
Silver seems to be a running theme for anti-death things (add the Silvery Slytherins and the Peverell crest to that list). Unicorn blood is a likely candidate, though. (Also, that bit you mentioned is probably worth rot13ing since it came from a source that he suggested not reading.)
I hadn't seen that he suggested against reading it. I edited to rot13.
Where/when did he say this?
OOC as a joke in one of the author's notes.
Though, mind, he could be telling the truth.
Given that:
1) Quirrell believes that bringing back Hermione would be the surest way to prevent Harry from destroying the world. ("Miss Granger was the only one whose worries he truly heeded - with her gone - all checks on the boy's recklessness are removed"; "You truly do care about that girl (...) I do not understand it, but I know the lengths you will go to because of it. You will challenge death itself, for her. Nothing will sway you from that.")
2) Preventing the prophecy from coming true appears to be at least one of Quirrell's top priorities as of the Roles arc (which, for some as-yet unestablished reason, the beginning of the unicorn deaths falls into).
3) Quirrell has been killing unicorns and storing away their flesh.
4) Eliezer has said, as above, "I’ll state outright that at the end of the story Hermione comes back as an alicorn princess".
Semi-serious hypothesis: Quirrell is intending to bring Hermione back using unicorn blood.

Though unreliable narration is always possible.
It was in the feminism rant.

It's the third link when you google "I’ll state outright that at the end of the story Hermione comes back as an alicorn princess."
