suspect that they may not have used the map as much as we might suspect.
Once they located all the secret passages, it's only function was if they were
sneaking around the halls and wanted to see who might be around. They were
probably pretty good at this even without the map.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><BR><BR>I often mention that if Dumbledore were a D&D wizard with
even half, <BR>even a quarter of the power level that we have been given to
<BR>understand that Dumbledore has, he would have Detects (Detect Evil,
<BR>Detect Illusion, Detect Disguise, etc) running constantly. Detects
<BR>must be a hell of a lot more expensive in JKR's universe than in D&D
<BR>universe. However, for all the years that Scabbers was a boring but
<BR>good pet rat to Ron Weasley, Percy before him, and maybe Bill or
<BR>Charlie before that (chronology!), the only Detect that would have
<BR>detected him is Detect Transformed
Being.<BR><BR>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Franklin Gothic Medium" size=4>We are told that Percy used to
own Scabbers, right? And Fred and George had the map for ages. On
Lupin's desk, the map revealed Peter's real name, not Scabbers. Wouldn't
F&G have noticed this before, and knew something wasn't right? I
really don't think they'd let that mystery go without
investigating?<BR><BR>Just a thought.</FONT></DIV>
