Yes well - but it *does* say something of Dumbledore: He knows all of 
London Underground to say that. It also allows "scars can be useful" 
and Harry's scar definately IS useful. Third person having (useful?) 
scars is Alastor Moody. I wonder what Moody's scars tell him, what 
alarm-bells they are (which would explain Fudges comment of having 
heard about curse-scar-alarm-bells before, particularly as Moody is 
considered as being paranoid).

Supposedly Harry will meet the real Alastor Moody somewhere - St 
Mungos? Diagon Alley? Hogwarts? Azkaban? Hogsmeade? - and discuss 
scars. There's something about Harry's scar...

And Sirius... I do hope he'll *finally* be free!
