Therefore, it would seem harmless enough giving it back to Harry. Maybe it 
is in an envelope or drawer marked, "confiscated from Harry Potter."

The only problem with that is the map is "on". When "Moody" got it, it was 
already activated.  Harry didn't tell him how to wipe it.  When BC, Junior 
mentioned it in his confession, he said he'd been watching it - so he 
wouldn't have wiped it anyway.

I'm thinking that even though Dumbledore's fond of Harry, he's not going to 
want him sneaking around (as well as in and out of) Hogwarts with the 
dangers that are sure to be lurking now.  Snape definitely wouldn't want him 
"crossing more lines".  The real Moody (as a friend/admirer of James/Lily 
Potter) might be inclined to give it back, trusting Harry to execute due 
vigilance on behalf of Hogwarts.

I still think, though, that if Harry and Ron determined to make one (not for 
breaking rules, of course, but just for emergencies), Hermione would help 
them.  She's loosening up some on rules; she wouldn't want to be left out; 
and she wouldn't just stand by if they were just as likely to use a spell 
that would transfer themselves into the parchment as the "correct" spell 
(she'd do the research to find out exactly what needed to be done, even if 
she disagreed with them - just to watch over their shoulders and make sure 
they weren't going to get hurt).
