I'll include Moody, also.

1) Made by magical damage, or in an incurable way. 

2) No access to medical facilities during healing time (Going in hiding or be 
kidnapped/tortured should count).

3) Not caring about small injuries repeatedly done during years (ie sports 
play).

4) The bearer of the scar doesn't want to lose it, as Molly from Neuromancer 
whose scars remembered her how stupid she had been, so she didn't remove 
them.

5) Scars hide secret runes (ok, don't shoot)
