was wondering if it had been asked in any chats that JKR participated 
in, or any interviews, if Harry received his map back after 
Crouch/Moody had it.  Dumbledore asks about it but the book never 
shows Harry retrieving it.  I know he had more important issues to 
deal with but it would probably be a big help in book 5.

AFAIK, JKR hasn't said anything about her plans for the Map in Book 
Five. My guess is that the Map will be heading back to Filch's drawer 
for good, given its penchant for creating unresolved narrative 
discord - e.g., how come no one ever noticed that "Pete Pettigrew" 
hung out with Ron so often, or why didn't Harry notice that "Alastor 
Moody" never left his office (since he was locked away in his own 
trunk)
