apt-get remove will leave config files, apt-get purge removes everything 
for that package, neither remove dependencies.  apt will let you know if 
there are packages left that only the one you just removed depended on, 
and an apt-get autoremove will get rid of those, but that will only come 
up if now other packages list them as dependancies.

 From man apt-get...

autoremove
           autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically
           installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that 
are no
           more needed.


It's all very clever from what I've seen!
