sentence would be about the absence of Harry's scar. Though it'd be a 
great psych-out if the scar talked about in the last sentence wasn't 
Harry's at all!

Me:  Yes, that would be quite amusing!  How about, "What next?  He 
did not know, but had all the time in the world to decide as he left 
for Madagascar".
Sorry - someone needed to say it.  
However the "... scar" ending does trouble me a bit.  The ending of 
book 7 is supposed to be an epilogue, and furthermore I fail to see 
how "... scar" can be a well written sentence, worthy of ending the 
seven book series.  Rowling said herself she'd most likely re-write 
it.  If she doesn't, maybe the trio will find their way round the 
underground with the help of Dumbledore's scar? (PS ch 1)
