What for should I mark private variables as private if they already are?

Question

As far as I know, in C# all fields are private for default, if not marked otherwise.

class Foo
{
  private string bar;
}

class Foo
{
  string bar;
}

If you were switching between Java and C# on a regular basis I imagine it would be fairly important to specify the access modifier explicity. For example in Java

void myMethod()
{

}

any class in your package has access to that method. In C# it's obviously private to the class and inner classes.
