zanooda:

This seems to be a very popular idea, and believe me, I would be happy
if it turned out to be true (although I'm pretty sure that DD is
dead). However, your particular argument doesn't work, because DEs
have the Dark Mark sign on their LEFT forearms and DD's RIGHT hand is
burned. Sorry to disappoint you.
