Then again, it could be _Dobby_ who got it and placed into Harry's 
trunk unnoticed, without anyone asking/telling him to do so. Winky 
might have told him about it, as it's not a *secret* to be kept since 
her master Barty told all of it already. Or Dobby might have heard it 
when Dumbledore did, and just wasn't *noticed* being there. House-
elves do seem to pack things for the students- why not Dobby putting 
the map there??

Anyway, Sirius & Lupin might make more maps, now updated with Secret 
Chamber... and what of those *blocked* corridors? Maybe they just 
seem blocked, but can be opened with a shrinking charm/password??

It may do more than show good map/people. It *has* seen trough 
polyjuice AND animagi. Hmm... Does Dumbledore have something to hide 
the map may reveal? (Animagus trying to hide? Timeturner!Weasley?)
Anyway, Dumbledore must have been shocked to find there's something 
related to Hogwarts he doesn't know but someone else does!
