bamf here:

The only problem I have with thinking that the map is
'evil' is that JK has Harry compare the map to Tom
Riddle's Diary (which was evil) and comes to the
conclucion that it isn't. While we see this from
Harry's POV, I would still say that the map is not
evil from that.  From an author's standpoint, why
would you compare two things, if not to show their
differences? Riddle's diary over the course of a year
nearly killed Ginny by taking over her 'life essence'.
 The worst the Marauder's Map has done is insult
people.
