At one of my recent viewings, I paid a little more attention to that line 
(following discussion here about the "gleam") - I agree that seemed a 
little odd.

Its very oddness (and Gambon's ever odder reaction shot) made me wonder 
just what it was meant to mean, and despite my earlier comments about not 
drawing conclusions about the books from the movies, I have a feeling that 
some kind of conclusion should be drawn from Voldemort's "marking" HP: was 
"mark as his equal" from the first prophecy not about the famous scar, but 
about the wound, as a result of which he was reborn? The way it's shown 
(and the dialogue) certainly invites comparisons between the Dark Mark and 
the wound.

"Just an idea"...
