Potioncat replies:
<< I know you're kidding, but this is one of the reasons I think the  
dark mark was invisible when LV didn't need it.  Sirius didn't know  
about it and no one seems to look for it in trials/hearings.>>


Sigune reflects:
Yes; but then what about Fake!Moody's remark that "there are some 
spots that simply don't come off" (quoting from memory)?

I thought that the Mark's visibility was tied to LV's presence/power -
 that even while he was Vapor!Mort it was still there (because the 
wizard who put it there was not really dead yet), but very vague. 

But of course matters would really be very simple if all you had to 
do to identify a DE was just to look at their left forearm. That is 
why I thought that maybe DE's could use a kind of charm to hide it, 
much like the spells wizards use to keep themselves unnoticed by 
Muggles.

Just a thought, though.

Yours severely,
