Lily & Runes

Since there is all this speculation on Petunia and Lily and their
family history, I'd like to pose another thought to the group that has
had me thinking over the last several days. In post #75851 Erica
speculated that perhaps Harry's scar was part of the protectionLily
placed on him. She suggests that it is the rune Eiwaz (sometimes
spelled (Eihwaz) (which Hermione mentions in OoP and says it means
Defense/protection...she gets it confused with Ehwaz on her
OWL)additionally, it's tree is the Yew which is what Lord Thingy's
wand ismade of.... (there is a rune link at
http://www.netlabs.net/hp/skatty/runes/ ) she (Erica) figures that
when Voldermort attacks Harry the rune protects and scars him. (this
might be an explanation of the shape of the scar anyway, but this rune
isn't the most lightening bolt like rune, but could possibly be
described as such)

What I found terribly intriguing though, in addition to this is the
Rune that represents "L" (Laguz) has as some of it's qualities:
female, the color Green, and it's tree is stated as Osier which is a
WILLOW. Lily (starts with "L") has a willow wand and her eyes are
"importantly" green. Her wand according to Olivander is good for
Chams, and since the wand chooses the wizard we can perhaps imply from
this that Lily was strong in charmwork... and so *could* be a student
of Ancient Runes (in my mind, I find I think of her as something like
Hermione)

But that is as far as I've gotten I think there may be something to
this, but know little about runes and how they function. Or where to
further take this... anyone else have any thoughts? (I posted this at
TLC's discussion too)
