> is mimicking the valley girl inflection

:-) I was thinking this but couldn't find the right phrase.

It could also be expressing uncertainty. You want to make an assertion but not 100% sure you are right. A question mark at the end expresses some self doubt and leaves it open to correction. I use '?' that way quite often.
