--- In HPforGrownups at y..., Amanda Lewanski <editor at t...> y my 

> 6. I asked about the scar alignment, the whole 
horizontal/vertical thing. He said that there had been some 
dissatisfaction on JKR's part with the book covers depicting it as 
vertical (my own preference). It sounded like something he'd 
discussed with her--he related that she told him that in her 
mind's eye, when Voldemort attacked baby Harry, the baby
flinched away, turned his head a bit, and so the scar is diagonal.

Doesn't the sketch JK Rowling did that appears in the SS special 
edition show the scar as vertical?  I don't own the book, but it 
seems that I remember a vertical scar (which is in my head now 
as "canon"). Anyone know?

Just curious!
