Hardly incorrect, but inexactly phrased.  What I meant was "he has survived 
the Tri-Wizarding Tournament and numerous Quidditch games without so much as a 
scar ."  With all the misadventures he has suffered in four years, he has ONE 
scar, which was given to him when he was still in his crib.

I have mentioned that Harry has sacrificed a "normal life".  But I have also 
said that this particular sacrifice actually benefited *Harry*.
