Debra: 
Perhaps there is a charm automatically on all DE's Dark Marks that 
make them invisible to all but other DE's, and Moody's eye is 
powerful enough to see through this charm. But why would he keep 
this a secret? Sirius didn't know about it in GoF when he 
said "[Snape] showed Karkaroff something on his left forearm? Don't 
know what that could be..." (from memory). Wouldn't the Ministry 
want the magical community to know about the Mark so they could 
judge people for themselves? This actually leads me to the 
conclusion that once Snape started working for the good side he 
told them about the Mark thing. But this happened before 
Karkaroff's trial, and why would they let Karkaroff out of Azkaban 
on one name when they had this information from Snape that could 
give them multiple DE's?

Debra:
He also said he hoped there would be a fan revolt. A couple of 
petitions have sprung up on the topic. My deepest apologies 
for "advertising", but some coherent adult responses would be 
greatly appreciated, as many of the comments are from kids who 
haven't yet discovered how to type coherently.
