mhbobbin:
I have wondered if the Marauders lost the magical map about this 
time, and somehow related to this incident. As DD doesn't know about 
the map (at the end of GOF), it probably wasn't confiscated by him, 
but truly by Filch. It was in Filch's filing cabinet where the twins 
found it years later, and where Lupin was likely looking for it when 
he finds the Boggart in PoA.  

We know so little of the pre-story that I suspect all that we do 
know ties together, if loosely. While the map confiscation probably 
wasn't the punishment, it just may be related.
