> On a related note, how common do you suppose magical devices like
the Map are in the WW?  The MM was unique in that it plotted Hogwarts,
its environs, and its inhabitants.  But similar devices may be
commonly used by Magical Law Enforcement, for example.  Or by the
mothers of far-roaming youngsters.  Perhaps DD is in possession of
such a device that tells him what Harry is up to.  I've always
wondered what he meant when he told Harry that he had been "watching
[him], more closely than [he] can have imagined."  (Sorry, 
> don't have my books here, can't give page reference).  Any theories
on this?

Actualy we know of such a device: IIRC, the magical clock at the
Weasleys tells where all family members are at all time (I don't have
the books at university, correct me if I'm wrong). Granted, it isn't
as specific as the Map, it only shows the persons general location.
Still, it is a very valuable tool. We don't know how rare such a clock
is, but I imagine it being farly common.

Personally, I have a shrewd suspicion that DD's mystical watch works
in a similar way, though I have absolutely no proof. Maybe one of the
arms shows Harrys whereabouts?
