Me:  

I understand what you are saying here but that
discounts that the reason Snape knew Voldemort
was back was because he felt the mark burn, not
that it had been more visible.  From what Snape
says to Fudge, it appears that only Voldemort
himself could make it burn black when he was
summoning his DE's to him.  

That Voldemort hadn't done it previously could
mean either he didn't have the power to do it
before his transformation or that he preferred
his DE's not to see him in that state.  However,
since the mark was becoming more visible, they
all had to know Voldemort was gaining in power.  

Of course, this also brings me to the question of
how the DE's knew where Voldemort was so they
could Apparate to him.  I wonder if the Dark Mark
comes with a GPS?  LOL
