laperchette (who is normally lurking) thinks:
Very interesting rune-theory! But for me Harry's scar looks more like
the rune Sowilo, than Eihwaz. And Sowilo is (besides the missuse of the
rune by the nazis) also very interesting, because it's meaning is the
sun and the positive force of attack. Perhaps you have other resources?
Thank you for the idea!
