Me (Finwitch):
And, if he said (as is in the UK version): "I have heard of curse 
scars acting as alarm bells before".

This would, said in a disbelieving tone - indicate more on Harry 
being crazy and his testimony as not valid.

Difference is that - with never, Fudge hasn't heard of it; without 
it, he _has_ heard of it, and considers that as a sign of insanity 
rather than truth.

I believe that old Moody has told MOM several times about curse-scar 
alarm bells. Moody is considered paranoid - insane. Sure, Fudge 
considers Harry's hurting scar as an even value to Moody's _several_ 
warning curse-scars... (His skin is FULL of them!!)

And speaking of Moody - any ideas on what kind of benefit his 
artificial foot gives him? Or is it just that he's too paranoid to 
drink a leg-grower and can't brew one himself? His magical eye, at 
least, is a benefit beyond having a new eye...
