Possible contact with MWPP through Marauders' Map????

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I am new here, and I 
was wondering what people's views were on Harry being able to 
interact with the 15/16 yr old memories (I don't think that's the 
correct term) of MWPP through the Marauders' Map, as Snape does in 
PoA. (sorry no canon), went something like 'can't believe a slimy 
git like that ever became a professor'...

As the Map seems to be able to recognise people, and give 
personalised responses, maybe Harry could use it and talk to his 
father.

We know that the Map recognises what people say to it, and it's not 
just randomn insults designed for Snape (otherwise how would it be 
able to insult his ability as a Prof; in the MWPP era, they probably 
believed Snape would become a death eater)

If he could, he may be able to learn why they were so horrible to 
Snape, and he could learn about how L/J got together too. 

Many people I know have ideas about HP going back in time, but IMO, 
it would be more realistic if he could just talk to them, maybe for 
advice/ support, or to just know more about his parents.

Remeber, ATT Wormtail was still loyal. (IMO he likes to be around 
powerful people, and when the map was created, Voldemort would not 
have been at his most powerful.)

I have also looked through OotP and GoF for evidence that Harry is 
actually still in possession of the map.

In the Lexicon, it is presumed that he still has it. I was wondering 
if anyone knows anything to back this up?

Sorry if it's already been brought up, and that it's a little long-
winded.
