Alla:

OK, Potioncat, you know, I love your posts dearly, right? So, maybe 
you can help me out? When, when, when did Voldie tutor Marauders? :o)

I am at the point of staring at my computer with very blank stare.

"Marauders Map" may have Dark Magic, it may not. Judging by JKR 
attitude to Dark Arts, I am convinced that it does not, but of course 
for now it is just a  metathinking argument.

I am convinced though that Sirius would figure out when the Drak 
Magic begins exactly because he was exposed to it at home and 
rejected it eventually.
