Devika, I think you are onto something there.  But then again, Filch 
wouldn't have confiscated the map unless Snape ratted on Sirius.  
Also, if Snape were going to tell what happened, I'd think he would 
go to his head of house or Dumbledore, not Filch.  So I'm thinking 
the map probably got confiscated in the same way Lupin and Moody took 
it from Harry:  a teacher told the Marauders essentially "Give it to 
me."
