5I'm pretty sure the Dark Marks vanished after Voldemort's death, as per Karkaroff and Snape's conversations about it getting darker in the weeks preceding his return. So the Wizengamot couldn't have known if Sirius had one or notchildcat15– childcat152015-04-27 20:12:52 +00:00Commented Apr 27, 2015 at 20:12

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
