My take on this is that Harry is very conscious of the scar and tries 
to hide it on various occasions.  Mostly people staring at it are 
those who already know he's Harry and are trying to see the scar, 
which implies that it's *less* obvious than Harry thinks it is.

Karkaroff is an exception as IIRC he recognises Harry by the scar - 
but they are in a logjam at the time.  More typical is the Bulgarian 
MOM who has to have the scar pointed out by Fudge (again IIRC).

David, haven't seen the trailer, happy to wait
