Rita said: Harry did -- when the twins show him how to work the map, "But even
as he stood there, flooded with excitement, something Harry had once
heard Mr. Weasley say came floating out of his memory. Never trust
anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps
its brain."

Hah! Harry got there first. I thought I was *so* clever, well that's blown that 
idea (shut up down the back!) Also the mirror at the Leaky Cauldron talks, 
without apparent brain. (the marvelous quote about him not being murdered in 
POA, The Leaky Cauldron 'that's the spirit dear')
