There’s an old metaphor I read somewhere, that compared an unmeasured quantum state to the image in an unobserved mirror. The Map isn’t sure who is in the Mirror room; maybe it’s still indetermined.
The Map isn’t sure who is in the Mirror room; maybe it’s still indetermined.
Maybe indetermined because the room is (so far) causally disconnected from Hogwarts, there is still one hour of time turning left and a stable time loop has not formed yet, because it is not clear who and how is going to use the time turner to get into the room before now.
Alternatively, the true Cloak of invisibility hides you from the Death itself, never mind a mere map...
In canon, the Cloak does not hide you from the Map.
I don’t remember if this has appeared in MoR, but an Author’s Note referenced this fact: in canon, the Cloak does not hide you from Moody’s Eye. Rather than change this, EY made the Eye a venerable artefact, rather than something that Moody whipped up. And he also made the Map a venerable artefact, rather than something that the Marauders whipped up.
So I expect that the Cloak does not hide you from the Map in MoR either.
