All you have to do is check the Leaky Cauldron, and you'll discover 
that JKR specifically told Chris Columbus where the scar should be. 
Check out "http://the-leaky-cauldron.org/index.html" and scroll down 
to July 19. This should end most debate, but I'm sure our resident 
LOONs can find something in there (I'd point it out myself, but it's 
best left to the experts!) :)
