Carol responds:
Yes. So am I. And I'm hoping we'll find that we're right in the first
chapter of HBP.

Carol responds:
Thanks for the links. I still think it's an eihwaz rune, though, even
though the shape is not quite right, because of Hermione's mistake on
her ancient runes test (sowilu or sowulu has not been mentioned, but
eihwaz has) and because of the association of eihwaz with protection
and defense. Also an interesting tidbit I picked up from the site you
linked us to: It's associated with the yew tree. And Voldemort's wand,
which created the cut that healed into the scar and, according to the
theory, released the protective charm, is made of yew wood.
Interesting, eh? And ironic?
I snipped Vivian's comment about Luna, but I agree that Luna could be
involved here. Wouldn't it be funny if she was the one to recognize
the rune and Hermione scoffed at her, rushing off to her books only to
find that Luna was right?
Carol, who hopes that someone will come up with an acronym for the
theory but doesn't want to risk putting a ship into TBAY
