Marauder's Map/Riddle's diary

[milz]

No: HPFGUIDX 4508

In PoA, Lupin tells Harry that Filch confiscated the map many "years 
ago". This was in the chapter, "Snape's Grudge" (American version).
So 
apparently, the Marauders somehow "lost" the map to Filch.

I tend to go with the theory that Harry just wasn't looking at his 
dormitory room the times he used the map and therefore missed "Peter 
Pettigrew". Afterall, Harry would be paying attention to the hallways 
in an effort to avoid being caught by one of the teachers or Filch.

OR, maybe the Map is "programmed" to detect those who can possibly to 
harm to the reader..sort of like Moody's Foe Glass in GoF??? The map 
would get kind of messy if it listed everyone in Hogwarts. 

Just a thought,
