So--is it only Snape whose Dark Mark burns when it--or Voldemort--is
referred to? And does it mean what I think it means, that the mark
itself senses his disloyalty to Voldemort?

Will someone please address this aspect of the question?


Kemper replies:

I seem to recall Crouch!Moody using the name Voldemort when he's 
questioning Harry in his office before DD, MM and Snape stun him.  
And while I'm intrigued by the DM burning for those disloyal to LV, 
I'm not very convinced.  Many don't like the name used in their 
presence.  Ron comes to mind, and he does not have the DM branded (or 
whatever) to his arm.  He is in obvious discomfort when Harry calls 
LV by name.
I think it is the fanatical DEs who can say 'Voldemort' without fear 
as they believe blindly in his cause.  The ones who aren't so coo-
coo and know the evil that Voldemort can do, maybe they are a little 
less enthusiastic about saying 'Voldemort' aloud.  Who wants to be 
the squeeky wheel and draw attention to the painful grease 
that's 'Crucio!'?
