Anyway, I have begun to wonder whether there is another person around with a curse scar like Harry's.

(Trelawney about his scar) Come now Potter, I have experience in these matters!'

(Fudge to Dumbledore:) 'You'll forgive me, Dumbledore, but I've heard of a curse scar acting as an alarm bell before...' Apparantly in the earlier versions Fudge says 'I've never heard...'. As I have a rather recent version of GoF, I assume that he has heard of a curse scar acting as an alarm bell, which for some (yet?) unknown reason was not an alarm at all (at least in Fudge's opinion).

7thSqueal screams:

What! Is this true? Another change between different editions of the same book. *Going bonkersmad and pulling out hair*

Quote from Layla:

If Dumbledore is aware of this person, my guess is that he will keep quiet about it because the person in question is rather vulnerable or even better, related to one of teachers at Hogwarts (my pet theory, which is not quite 
crystallized -did I spell that right?

SeventhSqueal responds: 

I like what you've spotted Layla. The only other people that we know of so far that have sensitive scars are the Deatheaters! Bwa ha ha ha! The Dark Mark is described as a 'brand' and has some similar qualities to Harry's scar. Interesting, very interesting. Thanx for posting this I'm going to have fun thinking about it.

As for the suggestion that the line about Fudge and scars has been edited in subsequent editions, if this is true it really muddies the waters for those of us who are trying to figure out how bad and to what degree Fudge is a bad guy.

~SeventhSqueal, mulling it over and trying to keep the nervous ticks under control.
