Or, better yet, the *partnership* rune (thank you, Debbie, for the 
thought), indicating the need for teamwork, starting with Lily, to 
defeat Voldemort.  This would not contradict the individualistic 
emphasis of the prophecy, which does not mention what Harry needs in 
order to win.

That would explain why the scar functions as a link, too.
