Well, Carol, if you care even a little bit about JKR's interviews (me
- not so much :-)), she said in 2007 Web Chat that Marietta is now
pimple-free :-). The question was: "Did Marietta's pimply formation
ever fade?" Her answer was: "Eventually, but it left a few scars".

No, they talked in the entrance hall :-).

I was also (I mean like Carol :-)) under an impression that Karkaroff
used to be a Hogwarts student. It's just the way he talks about it
upon arrival: "Dear old Hogwarts. How good it is to be here, how
good...". Sounds like something an alumnus would say. Or a former
teacher :-). Of course, I may be wrong. In this case, we can always
assume that Karkaroff once attended some inter-school seminar held at
Hogwarts... :-).
