I think most people figured it went up and down, simply because that's the way
lightning bolts happen when we see them--clouds to earth. Vertical. I suspect
the artists tilted it to make it more visible under the must-be-untidy hair. The
little Harry on my wonderful new mobile has the scar at a 45-degree angle,
trying to please both sides, I suppose.

Yup. You should see the wonderful doll furniture I got (for my daughter, you
understand...) on eBay....
