I see not specifying his marked status as feeding into that
I can get that, definitely. I suppose I just want her to have the courage of her convictions. It's like, she wants us to think he's Marked. She wants Harry to think he is. But she wants to leave it open, to not be definite about it. I think what made me feel irritated by it was the realisation that, having left it open, she could now come back and say, "oh no, he wasn't Marked at all." I dislike this possibility intensely, for some reason.
If he's unmarked - I adore the headcanon of him drawing the mark on his arm to intimidate people with. It goes along with the "hasn't realized he's in over his head" are Draco of the earlier books
Yes, I like it too! And it would explain why he doesn't get caught with the Mark at any other time in the books. But I don't actually think that's what JKR intended. Could work really well in a fic, though.
