[HPforGrownups] Re: Marauder's Map fluttered out of Harry's hands AGAIN?

Has Rowling simply forgotten to mention if Harry gets it back or has
she left it unmentioned for a reason?

We don't know the current location of the map, although I'm sure it
isn't lost for good. I for one would love to see Moody back to teach
his year at Hogwarts (I know, JKR has guaranteed a female DADA
teacher, but she didn't say which year). So maybe he'll find it in
the fake Moody's stuff and Harry will have a lovely little scene as
he tries to explain why he should have it back...

Perhaps, Harry nor JKR have any more need of the Marauders' Map. Harry
needed it the year that he was banned from going to Hogsmeade, and it
certainly played a significant part in GoF, but I am sure that JKR has other
magical items to introduce us to; in which case, the map's whereabouts is
unimportant.

Or, perhaps it is going to fall into the hands of someone who will use it
for some untold mischievous purpose.... maybe Neville or Draco.

While we are on the subject of the map, I wonder why it is punctuated as,
Marauder's Map? Should it not be, Marauders' Map, since there were four
Marauders?
