 When JKR revealed that the last word of book 7 may be "scar" it 
seemed to me that people were very eager to jump on the theory that 
LV was defeated by Harry and that his scar disappeared as a result.  
I have a slightly different theory.  I read in a chat transcript 
that in book seven, JKR feels she has to explore in an epilogue what 
happens to the surviving characters in their post Hogwarts days.  
This says to me that Harry's scar will not disappear, as the last 
word of the book will occur long after LV has been defeated.  Also, 
in the first chapter of SS, Dumbledore tells McGonagall that Harry 
will have that scar forever.  Could it be that, in Harry's adult 
life, following his defeat of Voldie, he holds his son, who looks in 
every aspect just like him, except for the conspicuos absence of a 
lightning bolt shaped scar?  Wouldn't the absence of such scar 
symbolize the gift of peace in the wizarding world that Harry and 
his friends have given subsequent generations?
