Allie:

I'm not convinced that the spots are totally gone, because they need 
to be hidden under layers of makeup.  I was a little bit disturbed 
that they were still there as well, until I realized that Marietta 
NEVER APOLOGIZED to anyone.  To Harry, Hermione, or even her friend 
Cho, who also could have been expelled!  Cho even defends her to Harry 
at the end of OoTP!  And I'm thoroughly convinced that if Marietta 
went to Hermione, apologized for almost getting them all expelled, and 
asked Hermione to remove the charm, she would do it in a heartbeat.  

(By the spots still being there, JKR is also reminding us how 
extraordinarily talented Hermione is, not that we need it.)
