Oops, sorry.  I should have stated more clearly that these were two 
seperate theories.
1.  He didn't have a beard at all - hence Uncle Vernon not mentioning 
it; 
or
2. He shaved it off *after* his escape.
I'll try to be more specific next time.  Of course we agree that the 
picture on the news had to be prior to his escape.
