Mac now - Two questions:

1. was Hagrid's hut built when the marauders made their map (I 
suspect it was, but we don't know)? If not, then could it evade the 
map's magic? I really like Ravenclaw Bookworm's suggestion that of 
course Pettigrew would know to hide there if it wasn't on the map.

2. Since harry II and Hermione II are there magically (though yes of 
course physically too) can the Marauder's map plot them? Might they 
be unplottable/detectable by magic (as JKR says Wizards can make 
themselves - how Sirius wasn't found, nor can Voldemort be). 

Your ideas are really clever thinking though Susannah. So I'm 
undecided.
