I think that his experience with Riddle's diary and the length of 
time it took to make sure the Firebolt was hex-free  made Harry 
*very* cautious about using the Map. By the end of PoA Harry 
knows  the map is  partially the creation of someone who 
became a Dark Wizard.  He also knows it  was manufactured 
illegally by students who  weren't thinking beyond their  
immediate needs and were more than capable of taking foolish 
risks.  Who knows how careful they were with their spell work?
