Hi Barry! Shelley, Carol and Steve are all right - the shape of the 
scar doesn't mean much. Maybe you remember that web chat with JKR that 
happened at the end of last July, soon after the 7th book release? 
There was a question about the scar, and there have to be the 
transcript in Leaky archives, although I don't have the time to look 
for it at the moment. However, I printed the transcript out back then, 
so it goes like this:


Koen Van Der Voort: Why is the scar on harrys forehead lightning shaped?

JKR: To be honest, because it's a cool shape. I couldn't have my hero 
sport a doughnut-shaped scar.


Hope this helps,
