Interesting idea about Herminone discovering that Harry's scar looks
like an ancient symbol. From the website "The Meanings of Runes" I
found this about Ancient Rune "yew" and it looks very much like a
lightning bolt.
DIVINATORY MEANINGS:
change, initiation, confrontation of fears, turning point, death,
transformation
This rune is the turning point in the runic journey, and represents
the transformation phase of the initiatory process. All rites of
passage, particularly those marking the transition into adulthood,
contain the symbolism of death, the idea being that one's
former 'self' has died and given birth to a new persona. ....... The
process is a truly frightening one, but it is something we all must
go through if we are to confront our deepest fears and emerge with
the kind of wisdom that cannot be taught but must be experienced.
Eihwaz is the gateway to this wisdom, and lies between life (jera)
and rebirth (perþ).
