SSSusan again:
Interesting possibility.  I know this happened when Ollivander walked 
into the room.  Harry does seem to be sensing SOMETHING and JKR does 
seem to be giving us a clue...but what is it that he's sensing?  Some 
people have hypothesized that he senses the presence of evil and that 
Ollivander must be up to no good.  

I don't think it can be simply "magical presence" that he's sensing, 
because wouldn't he be having that prickling sensation all the time?
