Hi, I posted this in message 51377, but I will repeat it here (ok, 
sue me :).  I figure the people who could have retrieved it were all 
the people present to hear about the map.  
Was it:

a. Dumbledore? He was surprised by its existence, so he may have 
made a point to go get it.
b. Harry? He could have made his way over to Moody's office and 
snagged it back.
c. Snape? Always a possibility, and if it did play a part in The 
Prank as some have suggested, he would be extra curious about it.
d. McGonnagal? She was present when it was mentioned, but I think 
she's least likely to have gone to get it.
e. Winky? She was probably too busy bemoaning Barty's (jr and sr) 
demise.
f. Real!Moody? If Dumbledore told him about what happened, he may 
have gotten the map.
g. Anyone else?

I think I vote for f. We know that Real!Moody is in OotP and it 
would be interesting if he were able to help by providing this 
important magical object.
