I am thinking maybe F, C or G.  

Explain F: Dumbledore probably would have noticed it there in 
Crouch/Moody's office after the kiss was performed.  If Dumbledore 
discovered it, he probably thought that the map belonged to (the 
real) Moody because Crouch had been using all of Moody's stuff anyway 
to fool everyone.  Being an ethical person, I think Dumbledore would 
have put it back with the rest of (the real) Moody's things.

Explain C: I have a feeling that ever since PoA when Snape noticed 
waht the map did in Lupin's office, that he has been dying to get his 
hands on it.  He also knew that Moody/Crouch had it after the 
encounter w/ Harry on the staircase in GoF.  I bet he was looking 
around for it after Moody/Crouch was apprehended.  

Explain G: I think another person who is likely to have it would be 
Filch.  After all, it had been stolen out of his office by Fred & 
George & I am sure Filch had been angry to find it missing & wanted 
it back.  He may have noticed it in Moody/Crouch's office after 
Crouch was caught & confiscated it before it could fall into the 
wrong hands again... 

Just my thoughts!   Brooke
