Ashley said: "I'm not saying I fully support the theory that someone
can apparate, but remember when Harry was looking for
Draco on the Maurader's Map in HBP?  Every time he
would look for Malfoy while Malfoy was in the Room of
Requirements, Malfoy would disappear."

Cathy again:

I personally think he disappears from the Maurauders map simply because of
the enchantments on the RoR.  He doesn't disapparate/apparate..he just goes
into room and is gone from the map.  " That's where he's been sneaking off
to! (RoR) That's where he's doing... whatever he's doing!  And I bet that's
why he's been disappearing off the map - come to think of it *I've never
seen the Room of Requirement on there!*" Then Hermione says " I think it'll
be part of the magic of the Room, if you need it to be unplottable, it will
be."

Ashley asked:

"Also, do you think Harry will be able to get the book
back?  Do you think the book is visible from the
closet in Burke and Borgin's or only visible from the
closet in the Room of Requirements??"

I don't see why he can't...except that they may close Hogwarts; he says he's
not going back there; and why would he want the potions book now that he
*knows* it belonged to Snape?  I don't think the book is visible from the
Vanishing cabinet.  When HP went into the RoR to get rid of is book, it was
described as cathedral-like with lots of alleyways and whatnot.  HP went
down one then turned into another and put his book into a cabinet.  Along
the way he saw the vanishing cabinet.  I'd thing (JMO) the only thing you
could see from the cabinet in B&B would be the inside of the cabinet in the
RoR.
