Another thing I read in PS/SS that I had not noticed before is when
Harry i getting his wand. Olivander states that James was good for
transfigurations and Lillys was good for CHARMS!!! So there is a clue
for POA and I thnk in coming books we may learn more of Lilies
expertise of charms. I think that it will be revealed that it was
Lily's charm on Harry using the eihwaz rune that saved his life.
This does not negate any cannon of Lily's love saving Harry. She
loved him so much that she put an ancient protection charm on him.
The scar is just comfirmation of this. The force of the AK was at the
spot where the scar is on Harry's forehead. It's analogous to a car
alarm: you dont know it is there until it is tripped.

In GOF, Harry tells DD what LV said about having the same blood
protection that Harry has from Harry's mother. ...."For a fleeting
instant, Harry thought he saw a gleam of of something like triumph in
DD eyes......" Could this mean that LV is thinking Harry is only
proteced by Lily's blood and love, and DD knows it is more than that. 
I think
there have been posts on the meaning of that particular sentence. As
I stated before, I think DD saw rune mark and recognized it for what
it is.  IMHO this would tie in DD saying scars can be useful and the 
gleam of victory.  The latter has always had me wondering what DD was 
thinking.
