Harry's Scar---Runic Significance?

I was reading a fic where Lucius Malfoy met Young!Harry about a few  
months before he got on the Hogwarts Express ("The Best Revenge" by  
Arsinoe de Blassenville; it's one where Snape delivers Harry's  
Hogwarts letter and is...displeased...at what he finds out about  
Harry's home life) and is very startled by Harry's scar.

He points out that the scar is exactly in the shape of the "Sig"  
rune---which signifies "victory."  In other words, Harry's marked as  
an inevitable winner.

Has anybody else ever commented about that?  Was it deliberate on  
JKR's part?  (Does she even know about runes as such, other than that  
they exist?)
