Voldemort probably wouldn't consider being a portrait true immortality. There are plenty of jobs in the wizarding world, they just aren't all shown in the books. The wizarding world has a version of the radio that is more advanced then the muggle version. The books and movies just show the magical classes since that is what the audience will likely find most interesting rather than classes that are also taught in real world schools. Hogwarts students are also probably taught much of what they need to know before Hogwarts. The wizarding world invents new potions, spells and magical devices all the time. Technology just takes a different form there.

Mr. Weasley and Percy go back to work at the ministry, dealing with the chaos, and the younger Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione get ready to head back to Hogwarts. Questions: 1. Throughout the series, sometimes "offhand" remarks turn out to be significant later - when Percy said "we should be stamping out vampires," did you have any thoughts about vampires having a role later in the series? 2. Would you want a clock like the Weasleys'? Do you think theirs should have had more or different categories? 3. Did the need for "spine of lionfish" and "essence of belladona" for potions give you any ideas about what they might be doing in that class this year? 4. What do you think Mr. Roberts was left to believe happened when he came to his senses after the memory charm? 5. Did you think Mundungus Fletcher was going to be important to the story based on the mention of him in this chapter?

Bruce: Personally, I feel Mundungus can be trusted as far as I can throw the building I'm in with one hand. I guess JKR was trying to demonstrate that just because you are in the Order, and out fighting Dark Wizards, that does not mean that you are a "good" person. Mundungus is probably in the Order for a similar reason that Wormtail followed Moldy Voldy -- he was afraid not to be. He thought that Dumbledore could protect him because Voldy was afraid to attack Dumbledore directly for a long time. Fear, however, does not make you reliable. Dr Bruce P.

I guess you could speculate that they just thought it was a Gryffindor they didn't know. Maybe a younger student. There is no reason they would know the name. Geoff: i must admit that hadn't crossed my mind until you raised it. But I think that Nikkalmati has put a finger on it. Harry's story was well known - the fact that his parents had been killed by Voldemort and he was "The Boy That Lived" was very much in the public domain of students at Hogwarts but the events involving Sirius seem to have dropped out of public notice by the time Harry started at Hogwarts, which was only a year after the twins. There is a little clue about this in POA in a conversation about Sirius: 'Then Madam Rosmerta said with some satisfaction, "But he didn't manage to disappear, did he? The Ministry of Magic caught up with him next day!" "Alas, if only we had," said Fudge bitterly. "It was not we who found him. It was little Peter Pettigrew - another of the Potters' friends. Maddened by grief, no doubt, and knowing that Black had been the Potters' Secret Keeper, he went after Black himself." "Pettigrew - that fat little boy who was always tagging around after them at Hogwarts?" said Madam Rosmerta."' (POA "The Marauders' Map p,154 UK edition) It is obvious that details of that event were now rather sketchy and parents would probably not think to pass that part of the story on to their children. Even Madam Rosmerta only remembers him vaguely. The twins would not know his name because they did not know the identities of the Marauders other than by their nicknames and I doubt whether they would keep close tabs on Ron's friends since, from their superior viewpoint being a year above Ron, they were more interested in ragging him than anything else so I suspect that they rarely looked for him on the Map.

Why would they not have noticed that someone named Pettigrew was very often in the same place as their brother Ron, or at least, that someone they didn't know was hanging out in the Gryffindor common room and dormitories? I have looked at the FAQs on this topic, and feel like there must be more to this ... is this a hole in the plot? Pippin: The problem is partly JKR's maddening inconsistency about the number of students. If there are (as is sometimes implied) really about three to four times as many students in Harry's year as the forty that JKR created, then it's not surprising that the Twins wouldn't know them all. And while everyone seems to know that Sirius Black killed twelve Muggles and a wizard, few seem to remember who that wizard was. But it also has to do with the way that the Twins used the map, IMO. Someone like Percy or Riddle, who was interested to see who else might be rule-breaking, would have spotted Peter in Harry's room when everyone should have been at class. But the twins aren't interested in busting rule-breakers or blackmailing them. They would have used the Map the way Harry did, to keep out of the way of Filch, Mrs. Norris and others on the prowl for rule-breakers. Students asleep in their beds were of no interest to them. Also, as they told Harry, they didn't even use the map much any more. They knew where the secret passages were, and their knowledge of magic had advanced enough, as we see, that they had no problems avoiding teachers and such even without the map.

I just assumed that the map would recognise him as one of its creators and not bother showing his location - or perhaps the Marauders charmed it in such a way that it didn't show their positions.

Geoff: I think it depends on how the magic, which was set up by the Marauders, works. Presumably, the magical signature of an individual is sensed by the Map and identified. In the case of Quirrell, his is the body while Voldemort is a parasite - in more ways than one! So I would assume that the Map reads only one personality, namely the "owner" of the body. I think that, like the Sorting Hat and the Room of Requirement, the Map needed incredibly complex spells to work; something of a tribute to the skills of its makers.

Bruce: I suppose it could be that they thought it was a younger student. You're right that at that time they would probably not know the name.

Quirrel would have been one of the people they were looking for and the name "Tom Riddle" always being with him should have been noticed. They may not have known who Tom was, but they certainly should have spread it around that there was "something funny" about Quirrel. Even if it was only as a rumor, it would have gotten back to Dumbledore and he would have known the name. Dr Bruce P.

Given what we know about portraits and photos in the WW, and the size of Hogwarts, and the detail that has been said to be viewable on the Marauder's Map, I think a solution can be reached. If it showed everything at once, it would be so huge as to be unwieldy. And folding it to the right place would take forever. But Harry has been described walking while looking at the map. Therefore, it would make sense that the map is not static, but dynamic. In other words, there's a zoom factor, not unlike what we see in pad computers. From the description, I envision it being about a 2-3 feet square unfolded, but you can see all of Hogwarts, or the parts in which you are interested. If you look at all of Hogwarts at once, you can see aggregates of people, but individuals are difficult to make out. Given the reasons the Twins used the map (side question: has anybody here noticed any behavior that distinguishes Fred from George?) they probably had little or no reason to zoom in on Ron. Certainly, there is nothing in canon that says that the map could do this, but it would explain a number of puzzles about the map.

Pippin: Fred is the bolder of the two. He's generally the first of the pair to speak. He's also a tad more hostile than George. He's the one who says things like, "Easy for you to say, stuck here! I don't see you risking your neck!" (to Sirius), and "Or any part of your body, really, we're not fussy where we stick this," (to the obnoxious Zacharias) in OOP. George talks less and is more cautious, warning Fred, for example, that threatening to tell the Ministry what Bagman has been up to would be blackmail.

There have been a number of different threads and sometimes, group members have written a number of replies with information which might have more usefully been in one post... which makes life a bit confusing. However. Reading Bart's post about the map reminded me of what happens, certainly with some modern mapping tools. I frequently use Google Maps and, after you enter a UK postcode, you get a small scale map with your target in the middle as a miniscule bit of the whole. Sometimes the place you want - say a road, isn't visible until you home in on the place you seek and gradually, the detail improves. Canon does give us some idea of its dimensions: 'Fred pulled something from inside his cloak with a flourish and laid it on one of the desks. It was a large, square, very worn piece of parchment with nothing written on it.' (POA "The Marauder's Map" p. 142 UK edition) 'Large' is obviously relative if it fits under a cloak but it does lend agreement with the suggested size given in a recent post. The other two things cover Voldemort and Scabbers. I have already suggested that perhaps the Map recognised people by their magic signature and that, when Voldemort was possessing Quirrell, the latter's signs were the ones which defined the person the Map was trying to identify. In the case of Peter Pettigrew, the thought which more recently occurred to me was since he remained permanently in his Animagus form, perhaps the Map didn't pick him up, being only designed to find people. On this same topic of the twins not noticing names, assuming that my last hypothesis was incorrect, I cast my mind back to my Grammar school in South London. There were about 80 guys in my year and three classes. Now, I knew all the boys in my form but my knowledge of those in the other forms was sketchy because, in the lower school, we didn't meet up often in groups. When I got to the dizzy heights of the Second Year and higher, we took little notice of students in lower forms; they were largely below our radar. Unless they were looking for guinea pigs to test their jokes, I think they would be working on other things - japes and tricks to play on their own peers or sneaking off somewhere. I really doubt that they would be watching Ron on an organised basis; their interactions with him and folk like Harry seem to have usually been extempore as and when they met.

Both Peter Petigrew and Sirius Black showed up on the Marauder's Map in Animagus form. It's a long quote, but it's in PoA Ch 17 - Cat, Rat and Dog. The trio exit Hagrid's with another person and Sirius Black charged and collided with them. Both were in Animagus form at these times. Therefore, Petifrew would have shown up on the map if the twins had looked for him, or known who he was. However, another quote may help explain why he was not noticed. In HBP, when Harry was trying to keep an eye on Malfoy, he had problems finding him at times and put this down to sheer mass of people.

Pippin: If the map showed soul bits, Harry would have noticed that he was carrying a fragment of Riddle. Thus, the map also would not have been able to show that Quirrell or Ginny was possessed. Since Dumbledore tried to suppress all knowledge of horcruxes, it is possible that the Marauders never knew that soul fragments existed, and wouldn't have designed the map to detect them. Regulus knew about them, but Sirius shunned his family's knowledge of the Dark Arts.

James & Co didn't know the room existed so they couldn't draw it in when creating the map or alternatively the room wouldn't let itself by drawn in since only people who require it can find it. As for Pettigrew he helped create the map, so like Congress and the tax code, I'm sure he had a hand in its loop holes. Maybe he used one of them to hide himself, just like staff on various forums can log in without the fact that they logged in being public.

However, that was not what I was pointing out. My point was that the map showed 'hundreds of tiny black dots' and this could be why the twins missed Pettigrew. However, know I think about it, Petigrew must have known that Hagrid's hut shielded him, otherwise, why did he hide there?
