Is there a connection between Harry's scare, runes and the 'protection' Lily gives Harry?
 
In looking further into the runes it appears the Eiwaz, the rune of defense, as mention by Hermione is also associated with Protection.

What if *thats* what Lily did for Harry.  What if she involked Harry's Protection by drawing (with her finger) the Eiwaz rune on Harry's forehead  (which sort a looks like a lightning bolt) along with copious amounts of that force that 
 
"...  is at once more wonderful and more terrible than death, than human intelligence, than the forces of nature. It is also, perhaps, the most mysterious of the many subjects for study that reside there. It is the power held within that room that you possess in such quantities and which Voldemort has not at all". 

Then when Voldie tries to kill Harry the power of that curse is absorbed into the rune and spat back out again, permanently scaring Harry.  The rune itself means 'Yew' which among, other things,  Voldies wand wood.

Anywho,

Just a thought.

or this one:

which deals with the rune poems.

I would also reccomend: Runelore by Edred Thorsson 
This site:

http://www.y2012.de/fragments/runes.html

borrows heavily from it, and if you feel like the reading, can help 
anyone understand runes beyond the silly shinny bag of rocks you get 
at the local bookstore.... and may provide further Harry Hints!

Snape snorted.  "A very short chapter (of the book "Quidditch in Bed"), addressed to the assumed male reader, about how you can tell what the score is and whether it's a real one...followed by an even shorter chapter entitled 'Your Witch and the Snitch', wherin the authors try very hard to explain the idea that it isn't all about getting the Quaffle through the Hoop.'
