Wow Erica!

What an interesting thought. That what eveyone has assumed to be a
mark from Voldermort is really one from his mother that adds to the 
protectiveness. You may be on to something... 
 
Wasn't Eiwaz one of the Runes one of them got confused with something
else during either their studying for OWLs or during their OWLs? or am
I thinking of something else entirely? (I don't have the book here
with me... ) if so, could this be a clue?
