Lynn:

I'm finding it strange that the automatic
assumption is that the US version is correct and
the UK version is wrong.  After all, it's not the
first time that Scholastic hasn't done a great
job proofreading or has added things that weren't
there in the UK version.  Is there anything by
Bloombury, Scholastic or JKR to support that?  I
find that the UK version makes sense.  When
Dumbledore starts pointing out what he thinks the
scar hurting means, Fudge quickly points out to
Dumbledore that he's not a total idiot and knows
that curse scars can act as an alarm.
