OOTP (UK hardcover page 631) OWLS chapter

After leaving her O.W.L.S. test, Hermione is kicking herself for mixing 
up 2 runes:.
Eihwaz--defense against danger
Ehwaz--rune of trust

Entropy is correct--Eihwaz is lightning boltish.

Well done, Entropy!

It would not surprise me in the least now to get to the end of Book 7 
and find out it was never a lightning bolt, it was a rune mark all along.
