Magpie:
It is never stated anywhere that it is permenant.  But I can see why people 
to talk about it in those terms.  It's the longest-acting hex we've ever 
seen in canon from what I can remember (except the botched memory charm of 
Lockharts, and his memory spells are presumably permanent).  As I said 
elsewhere, I assumed it would just be dropped in HBP and we'd all assume it 
went away.  But once it turns out that didn't happen it seems the default 
becomes that it's still there unless we hear otherwise.  Permenant?  Who 
knows.  But it's quite the Energizer bunny hex.
