Aw, shute! I guess that's that, then.  Eileen must just be drawn to
men without magical powers.  Maybe, like Margaret Smith, she likes a
man she can take.

Unless, unless ...
Lupin says the map was confiscated by Mr. Filch.  He doesn't say from
whom or *how* many years ago. :-)

It does make me wonder what is the story of the map.  How did Filch
come to confiscate it?  Was Dumbledore aware of its existence?  Why
wasn't it destroyed?
