Geoff:
This has been discussed fairly extensively since OOTP came out. 
General consensus is that Mark is underage - he's not reached 
Hogwarts and it would seem that up and coming wizards only appear on 
the Ministry "radar screens" when that occurs.

I hate to quote this message number again in case I seem to be 
advertising my own efforts but, in message 85255, I pulled together a 
lot of the information given by lots of other contributors to try and 
give a cohesive overview of the Evans theory.
