interesting, but imho not plausible for a number of reasons, not the 
least of which being the unfortunate tendency of the scar to cause 
Harry intense pain whenever Voldemort "is near or feeling 
particularly murderous".  it's been stated a number of times that 
Harry's is a "curse scar", and one which carries with it a peculiar 
connection with the wizard who performed the curse.

as well, we already know about the nature Lily's protective charm, 
for the most part -- what reason would there be to hide a detail such 
as it somehow being the origin of Harry's scar?  that the scar is a 
product of a powerful curse rather than a charm is considerably more 
likely.
