pcaehill responds:

For instance, I could see Harry in some situation (say, with
Dumbledore again, from whom he has "withheld info" several times
over the years), and while he is pondering what to say, glances at
his hand and (in spite of the horrible original circumstances of the
scar's infliction) realizing that this is a situation in which he
must not now lie."


vmonte responds:

Actually, what if he learns to block his mind from Voldemort but is
then betrayed by his flesh. What I mean is (and I never would have
thought of this if it wasn't for your post) what if Harry is captured
and tortured to reveal some information. Harry lies, but is caught
lying because of the scar.
DE: Do you know were DD is?
Harry: No
DE: Is he at such and such location...
Harry: No (scar signals that he is a lying.)
This could be very bad indeed.
