unplottable

Don't know if this has been discussed before, but...

So Unplottable is a spell that won't let you plot locations on a map.  
Convenient, and particularly useful for places like Durmstrang that don't 
want to be found.  But how far does its range extend?  It's a safe 
assumption that there are dozens of sizeable properties with Unplottable 
slapped on their grounds, like wizarding schools or places like Malfoy 
Mansion.  Does this mean that the innocent Muggles don't notice, when 
they're mapping out the British Isles, that the outer perimeter is quite a 
bit larger than what they've actually mapped out inside?

And then you've all the wizarding places unnaccessible by Muggles anyway, 
like Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, and you've got to wonder if there's a 
little office in the Ministry of Magic where wizards are constantly casting 
forget-spells on poor unsuspecting Muggle cartographers... bit impractical 
though.

Or perhaps I should just leave well enough alone.  (:

Oh by the way, I'm a newbie to this list.  Hi!  I floated over from hpslash, 
and I've been enjoying the discussion.  This Unplottable thing has been 
bothering me ever since I read GoF, and I figured I'd let it bother someone 
else for a change.

Cheers,
Kat (:
