But I'm not totally convinced as Harry has many times tried to hide his scar
with his fringe, if he could (even by accident or without realising it)
wouldn't he physically make the scar disappear

Interesting question, but I THINK it's already been answered by Rowling
herself in one interview or another. Don't quote me on this--I could very
well be mis-remembering, but...I seem to recall this subject being discussed
when I first joined a few months ago, and someone had said that Rowling
stated in an interview that although there WAS another Metamorphomagus
character besides Tonks, it would not be Harry...
Anyone else remember this discussion, or know about the interview where this
might have been stated, and where senile folks like myself can find it? ^^;
As for the re-growing hair...I think that maybe a lot of the 'magic' Harry
pulls off at the Dursleys over the year is more of a 'bleed-off' result when
he's highly stressed or completely pissed at his caretakers--in other words,
magical energy sort of flies in certain higly emotional situations, but
other then taking a 'rough shape' in regards to what it does (Blowing up
Aunt Marge because his temper is about to 'blow up' for example), it's not
really something Harry can control...and it's not part of a specific talent
(Unless wandless magic is a specific talent/skill/ability)...if that makes
any sense...?
The scar, of course, being a result somehow of Harry's altercation with old
Moldy Voldy when he was an infant, might be resistant to any magic that
tried to remove it, even metamorphing, simply because it itself has certain
magical properties that cannot be over-ridden (this is just an opinion of
mine...and I could be way off base...).
**Anne--wishing she kept track of Rowling's interviews so it was easier to
answer these kinds of questions and actaully have accurate
information...:P**
