Excellent summary and questions, Amy Z.!
> 
> 1. It occurs to Harry that the Marauder's Map may be a Dark object; 
it puts  him in mind of Mr. Weasley's dictum about mysterious magical 
objects, and he  hesitates to use it, but overcomes his doubts "quite 
suddenly, as though  following orders."  What do you make of the pull 
the Map seems to have on him?>

I think I'd use the map too.  Harry is despressed about having to stay 
at Hogwarts and here is a seemingly foolproof way to get into 
Hogsmeade without getting caught.  We also know that Harry doesn't 
take Sirius too seriously, so why should the thought of meeting him in 
a dark and lonely tunnel stop him?
> 
> 2. If you could buy one treat at Honeydukes, what would it be?

Well, everything really, but those Chocoballs filled with strawberry 
mousse and clotted cream make my mouth water right now.
> 
> 3. What do you think--=does= Sirius get into Hogwarts by the secret 
> passages?  If not, how?

As a dog, he might just be able to wander onto the grounds as he 
pleased, but I'm sure he used the passages as well.  He certainly knew 
about them, after having used them many times as a student.
> 
> 4. Fudge says that Black's part in the Potters' deaths "isn't widely 
known."    Is there any significance to the reason why not, i.e., is 
it deliberately  being kept secret, and if so, why?

Why Voldie was after them isn't widely known either.  I'm sure we'll 
find out more later.
 
> 6. How does the Fidelius Charm work?  Does it hide you from 
everybody, from  one person only, from a selected list . . . ?

Didn't Flitwick say it was a complex spell?  I believe that if the 
Potters needed to hide from Voldie, than he was the one who couldn't 
find them, even if someone said "Look! There they are!".  Obviously 
the spell needs to actually be broken for the hiding ones to be found.
>  
> 10. Is Trelawney's prediction that either Ron or Harry will 
predecease the others at the table going to come true?

I'm definitely keeping an eye out for that, but it's so easy to 
interpret her comments as mere superstition.  She just isn't reliable 
to me, and if her "prediction" turns out to be true, I'll be 
heartbroken... but I'll still think it's a coincidence.
 
> 11. Why does Lupin flee when Trelawney offers to crystal gaze for 
him?

Hey - who said he fled?  Trelawney herself!  I don't find her the most 
reliable source of information.  Lupin could very well have said a 
simple "No thanks", and she interpreted that as him fleeing for his 
life from her awesome powers.
