scar = alarm bell?

I received the following query in my Lexicon mail:

   My question refers to a possible difference between 
   the UK and US versions of GofF. In the scene very 
   near the end where Dumbledore is trying to convince 
   Fudge that V. is back, Fudge says "I"ve never heard 
   of a curse scar acting as an alarm bell before". 
   It has been raised, on the HPGalleries forum, that 
   the UK version omits the word "never", which changes 
   the whole meaning drastically. 

Can anyone shed some light on this? Is there a difference at this 
point in the books between the US and UK versions? My US edition 
does say "never."
