Yes, the fact that the UK editions leave out "never" makes me wonder
if that is correct. (So does my Canadian edition, btw.)
When all else fails, introduce the Big Bang theory.
The Big Bang theory would state that "never heard" is a dud, since it
just ends there. Fudge refuses to believe that curse scars act as
alarm bells.
However "I've heard" is very bangy, since it introduces the question
of which curse scar Fudge is referring to that obviously should have
alerted people that the owner was unhinged.
So, until the editions are correlated, Big Bangers should probably go
with "I've heard."
Eileen, tongue planted firmly in cheek and really hoping that they get
out an Annotated HP series soon
