The only plot-significant things that have been described as silver are Fawkes, the Time-Turner, Dumbledore's beard, Lucius Malfoy's cane, and Patronus charms. I think we can safely eliminate Dumbledore's beard and Malfoy's cane. If it is in the future, I would have dismissed the time-turner before the past 2 chapters, but not anymore.
(I still believe it likely describes the attack on the Potters. Edit: I no longer believe this.)
In the first Canon, unicorn's blood is silver, and that has a life-extension effect.
IIRC, Canon!Dumbledore says it is used as a last, terrible resort of a wretched life (or something).
