I'm leaning slightly towards that he didn't take the mark, for a lot of the same reasons that vaysh described, but I love that it's ambiguous. In fanfic I'm rather fond of the idea of him having the mark, for a lot of the reasons that you've described. I have to say, though, that I hope JKR doesn't confirm one way or the other. I find a lot of the background info on Pottermore interesting, but I'm not equally fond of the "this is what really happened in canon" writing. (On a different note, I've seldom seen so many angry and sad people as on the wolfstar tag on Tumblr when Remus' biography was released, saying that he'd never been in a relationship before Tonks. Sirius did not like that, hahaha.) Canon is canon :)
