Well, I'll be fine with whatever she says about it. I always assumed that he was marked and deeply regretted it. JKR has enough control of what happened in the movies that if the script writer's wanted to have Draco show it in the film, she could have nixed it if she wanted to. I heard one of her interviews, maybe one of her Leaky ones, where she was asked and she quietly said that, yes, Draco had taken the mark. Then she quickly moved on like she didn't want to spend a lot of time talking about it.
I'd actually prefer if if we find out that he wasn't marked and had faked it to scare people. But it would have been hard to fake the bathroom scene where he shows Potter his arm. He's clearly emotionally strung out, losing control, and having a meltdown. He didn't plan for Harry to interrupt him amid his breakdown, so a fake mark seems unlikely.
Whatever the great lady decides to say is fine with me though. In my mind, I still envision a post-war redeemed Draco. It's clear from the scene at King's Cross in the epilogue that he has stayed out of Azkaban, married and raised a son.
Still it will be interesting to see what she says about Draco.
