Yes, I have been thinking that the one who approaches could mean 
something else as well, but like you I am not sure what else.  Yet.  
JKR will let us know, someday.  Regarding the mark, though, that is 
an interesting comments.  I don't think that the Dark Mark tattoo 
(or whatever it is) is really marking as an 'equal' but it does show 
that there are other ways to mark someone.  Interesting ... time 
will tell.
