Juli again: I hadn't thought of that, she's used to
see Harry's lightbolt-shaped scar, so she can't see
the eihwaz.

Juli: I definitively agree on this, I'm pretty sure
that Lily (and possibly also James and Sirius) did
some additional protective spells for Harry. I keep
thinking of Harry's christening. I am a catholic, and
as I see it, when a child is christened he is welcomed
into the religion and protected against evils. Maybe
the christening in the WW is even more complex and the
protection is more literal than methaphorical.
I really don't know a lot about runes though I have
studied them, but they seem kind of opposite, I mean
Runes are from a specific region (which I forgot right
now), and spells or magic seems to be more universal.
