montims:
bboyminn has answered that very well, but what I don't get is the
communication thing...  Someone presses their mark and instantly LV knows
they have "the boy", and where they have him...  In the past we saw that he
pressed the mark to summon them, it would burn and darken on their arm, and
they could apparate to wherever LV was.  I wasn't sure how that worked, but
it's clearly "powerful magic".  With regard to the instructions to the
Carrows, I can't imagine LV put himself at risk to speak to them directly -
I expect the orders came through Snape, but would communications with Snape
have always been through the mark?  In Snape's spying days also?  So the
Order speaks through patronuses, and the DE speak through the mark...
Interesting...
