Geoff:
I wouldn't accept the idea of the eihwas rune. Having looked up runes 
to check - since I'm not into them - the rune mentioned doesn't look 
at all to me like the description at the beginning of PS: "they could 
see a curiously shaped cut like a bolt of lightning." (PS "The Boy 
Who Lived" p.16-17 UK edition).
