Sawsan here:

I did look up the ehwaz as well, but I guess I wrote it off for two
reasons: first the shape was all wrong to me :P and second because
even Hermione noticed that she confused them both and the eihwaz was
what she needed or something to that effect. I do see what you mean
though, and I find that quite interesting... but the reason I was
thinking about the Holly and Yew is because the Yew definately goes
along with Harry's scar and the Eihwaz rune, I was just hoping to see
if Harry's wand had any significance, though I do not know why anymore. 

I wonder why Hermione hasn't noticed or mentioned anything about
Harry's scar and the eihwaz rune, now that I actually looked it up and
thanks to the people who noticed it before, I am surprised at
Hermione's not even showing any remote interest in the similarities.
So now I am wondering whether Hermione did notice, but either did not
want to bring it up or was forced not to (she hides things from Harry
and Ron a few times IE Lupin=Werewolf, the time turner, etc) or if she
genuinely misses something very important that seems to be staring her
in the face constantly. 

I also want to know if there is something in the eihwaz rune that has
something to do with the "more wonderful and more terrible than death"
part of the prophesy, considering it has strong ties to death and
rebirth and so on. 

Also, considering the rebirth part of the rune, I almost want to think
that since Harry was the only known person to survive the AK curse,
that he might be the only known person to come back from the dead as
well. I know that is farfetched, but JKR always likes to throw in the
fact that Harry might not live at the end of the series, but I find it
unlikely that if he does die that he will stay dead. Do I make any
sense? :P
