I know someone else brought up the illustrations by Mary Grandpre, where she
draws Harry with a lightning bolt scar.  But she is not the only person who
has ever drawn Harry.  JKR herself has drawn Harry, standing in front of the
mantelpiece in the Dursley household.  I know there's another one of him as
a baby being left on Privet Drive.  Both of those should have her
interpretation of the scar.  I don't have the link, but I'm sure someone can
supply it.  I would think that would help shed light on the exact shape of
the scar in JK's mind.
