Another symbolic possibility for the lightning bolt shape is 
Kaballistic.  (Kabbalah, also spelled Cabalah or Qabalah, was very 
big in European magic circles in the Renaissance).

The standard Glyph of the Kabbalah shows ten sepehirot.  The first  
symbolizes the highest, most divine and most abstract level and the 
tenth material life here on Earth.  (In between are nine sephirot 
symbolizing everything along the way from here to there).  When the 
divine inspiration goes down to earth it forms a pattern as it moves 
through the sephirot known as the lightning flash.  Same is true for 
the process working in reverse -- movement from earth to divine 
forms the same pattern going up through the sephirot.

This might fit in with Harry's destiny as the One sent by the 
providential forces to overcome Voldemort's reign of terror on Earth.
