Scar?

There's a throw-away line in 'Snapes worst memory' that interests me.

'But too late; Snape had directed his wand straight at James; there was 
a flash of light and a gash appeared on the side of James's face, 
spattering his robes with blood.'

This sounds as if it's more than a scratch.

Now, will this heal to form a curse scar; if so, what shape will the 
scar be, and does it mean anything?
