Dark Mark and Voldemort.
I have 2 questions, not exactly a theory, so you may all relax.
If Voldemort was not actively calling his Death Eaters (DEs), will the Mark still be visible?
______________________________________
I’m asking this because:
Some people like Malfoy were able to avoid Azkaban after Voldemort was first banished, by claiming that he was forced (by Imperius Curse maybe?). But can the course force Malfoy into taking the Mark?
If the mark does not fade entirely, why couldn’t the Ministry of Magic establish the identity of the DEs by checking the suspects’ forearms? Crouch JR, claimed his innocence, and not even Dumbledore was sure of his loyalties.

1. Doesn’t that mean that the Mark disappeared completely after Voldemort’s own disappearance?
2. Or, is the Mark only visible when it’s being activated.

I know I've been monopolizing this community. Don't worry, next week you'll not see a single letter from me for about 2.5 weeks (if not even longer); so cheer up. Chin up. And wish me luck.
A/N2:
I want to thank all of you who took the time to read and comment on my previous essays. I also want to apologize for those of you who recently commented on a 2-week-old essay. I know I did not answer most of you, and those who I did answer; my replies were short and not entirely to do with your comments, or were wanting.
The fact of the matter is: I read the policy of this community and it says that one should check at least the last 2-3 weeks entries before submitting a theory, incase it already had been done. Which means that my piece was too old, and anyone had the right to approach the same subject and ask the same questions [and unfortunately, rarely anyone goes back and reads old essays]. I simply lost interest in the issue, and had no more wish to debate it as it is now. But if anyone has a new approach - and post a theory - on the subject, I will of course read it and agree/refute accordingly.
