Susan:
I must not be doing a very good job of expressing myself. [Sigh.]  I 
was NOT trying to argue that the Dark Mark *is* the way I believe 
Snape & Voldy communicate.  Not at all.  My point was that the Dark 
Mark itself is **a** means of quick communication.  If that exists, 
how do we know there aren't **other** means of quick communication 
that are more fully communicative?  I believe there's some way in 
which DD can use Fawkes.  Perhaps Voldy has some quick means--
instrument, animal, bird, who knows what--to communicate, too.  No, 
I did *not* think they were talking into their sleeves.  Too James 
Bondish for our JKR! :-)
