The silver from the begging of HPMOR seems unicorn blood. Eliezer said:

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.
