I'm  puzzling over what symbols Harry must not have had any exposure 
to as far  as what we know of him, his life, his education. Hebrew 
is about all I can  think of -- and it is relevant to Cabalistic 
teachings, which have never  been mentioned in the HP texts.

Sherrie here:
 
All of this is why I'm beginning to lean toward the Theban alphabet, or  
possibly the Alphabet of the Magi (created by Paracelsus), or the Enochian of  Dr. 
Dee.  (You can find them all at omniglot.com, if you want to see  them.)  
These wouldn't be common in the Muggle world, & might not be  common knowledge in 
the Wizarding World, either - certainly not to a fifth or  sixth year student 
wizard who isn't all that keen on studying.  Hermione  might have run across 
them in extracurricular works, but Harry isn't much for  extra work.
