Me:In GOF, We had seen wizards casting memory charm again and again 
on a muggle camp manager during Quidditch World Cup and the charm 
made him forgetting things, going out of context for a while and 
wizards said those effects were just temporary. You must have noticed 
that Barty Crouch cast strong memory charm on Bertha and Lockhart 
always used very strong memory charm on his knowledge resources so it 
seems that casting a charm is related to intentions and intensity and 
Kingsley just put mild charm on Marietta.
