Of course not, but especially with magical artifacts that "keep
their brains elsewhere," I don't find it difficult to believe
that something of the maker (or makers) remains within the
artifact -- just as Tom Riddle was inside his diary.  Therefore
something of James was "in" the map, and Harry may have sensed
that unconsciously.
