Alla:

In the past I was so focused on "did not know about Dark mark" thing 
that implausibility of the fact that he DID know about DE perfectly 
well at the same time did not even register in my mind.

I mean, DUH Alla. And again, had she chose to go with Sirius not 
knowing about DE at all ( but yeah, how is that possible if they were 
the thing he was fighting as member of the order), but knowing about 
them and having no clue about their most recognisable tatoo, which 
they were also leaving on the place they raided, eh, NO, sorry JKR 
not buying at all.

Alla:

I snipped your explanation about why Crouch Sr. could not be saved 
because I am not exactly resisting that thought per se, I am just 
saying that while you could be totally right, we will never know for 
sure, IMO.

And Snape should be "thanked" for that.

JMO,

Alla
