**********Question within the movie parameters, then: Why did Lupin tell
Harry
that keeping the map was bad, reason being that the map would provide
Black the means to get to Harry, when Black knew all the secret
passages and entrances it shows, already?*********

I assumed it was because it would tell Black exactly where Harry was at any
given time and if anyone was around him who could assist in protecting
him.<<<

That does make sense. As I was reading POA last night, it did occur to me
that all of the teachers and students at Hogwarts who think Black can't get
in to the castle, and Harry's safe as long as he stays there, don't know
about the passages that the Marauder's and the Weasley twins know about.
(They also don't know that even though the Whomping Willow "guards" another
passageway, Black knows how to get past it.) The only one who knows is Lupin
(who also knows about Black being an Animagus). If he truly believed Black
was guilty of the crimes he was imprisoned for, isn't he doing a disservice
to Harry by not telling DD everything? He's the only one who knows that
Black can change into   a dog and knows about entries into the castle!

Unless he suspects Black was innocent, but I don't think there's evidence
for that in the canon.
