Steve: Funny, though, now that I'm thinking about scars...I wonder if 
there's anything to Dumbledore's statement about scars being useful 
and that he has one on his knee that is a map of the London 
Underground. Strange statement, that...
*Sorry for the one-liner.  I know this list doesn't like them.  But,
yes, that statement was useful.  It foreshadowed the connection we see
later in SS and GoF.  I think that connection has more potential than
it's shown so far, too, but I don't know yet what that is.
Speaking of the scar, and this post is officially no longer a one-liner,
at the end of SS, Harry says something about his scar hurting before
that time, but never this often.  what do you think Harry was referring
to?  Here's the exact quote so you all can find where I'm talking about.
It's in chapter 16, toward the beginning.  I can't give you an exact
page number because I'm getting this from a braille edition, and the
pages aren't the same.
'Harry was rubbing his forehead.
"I wish I knew what this means!" he burst out angrily.  "My scar keeps
hurting--it's happened before, but never as often as this."'
What do you think?  Does this just mean that Voldemort has been feeling
particularly hateful from time to time while Harry was at the Dursleys? 
Or that his scar did occasionally hurt in Quirrell's classes, but he
just didn't mention it?  OR something else?
