I assumed that he blocked Quirrelmort's curse due to their magical interference, not because the True Patronus is actually intended as a way of blocking Avada Kedavera

Whether or not the True Patronus can block anyone else's Killing Curse, the way it's described above sounds pretty antithetical to me.

Oh, I see. Because the True Patronus is a magically embodied preference for life over death ... interesting.

Also, the Patronus automatically moved to block the killing curse based on Harry's preference, without his will or knowledge of the magical interference.
