ROFL, Susan!  Who d'you suppose is his personal design consultant?  
Crabbe Sr.?

Can we clear this up right now?  I will personally send $20 to the 
first person who can point to evidence in the books (non-JKR 
illustrations don't count) that the scar is dead center.  I see it 
that way, along with 99% of the fandom, but it isn't canon.  JKR even 
said something in an interview about imagining baby H turning his head 
when the big scary man came after him (or maybe in response to the 
flash of light?) and getting hit off-center.  (Bad Amy, I have no 
reference--but go forth and seek it in the Holy Lexicon if you want 
the specifics).

There is, of course, that exasperating, invisible-scarred Harry in the 
deluxe edition of PS/SS; JKR drawings are canon, no?  (Though they can 
be wrong, like her assertion that there are 1000 students at Hogwarts 
<bg>.)  Perhaps we've all been missing it because we've been looking 
in the middle of his forehead where she puts a bit of bangs, and it's 
actually over his right eye?

    "We didn't give it to him because he's a Muggle!"
 said Fred indignantly.
    "No, we gave it to him because he's a great bullying
 git," said George.  "Isn't he, Harry?"
    "Yeah, he is, Mr. Weasley," said Harry earnestly.
