When Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, why didn't the MoM just send him a letter (using an owl to which they have attached a tracking spell). The owl would locate Sirius, the MoM would locate Sirius via the tracking spell on the owl, then the Aurors would Apparate to Sirius' location!

Fred and George had a Marauder's Map which could locate anyone in Hogwarts. For over 2 years, they had this map, while their brother Ron was present at Hogwarts with his pet rat Scabbers A.K.A Peter Pettigrew. Why didn't Fred and George ever look up Ron on the Marauder's Map, and discover a "Peter Pettigrew" right on top of Ron (and then ask Ron who the heck Peter Pettigrew is and why Ron is constantly with him).

Late in the book, Scabbers fakes his death, leaving blood and ginger hairs (like the ones on Hermione's cat Crookshanks). Hermione suggests that Ron look for Scabbers under the boys' beds. Why don't Harry, or ron, or Hermione, or Fred, or George think of using the Marauder's Map to look for Scabbers?

When Sirius Black invades Hogwarts, why don't Fred, George, harry, Ron, or Hermione think of using the Map to look for him?

When the Fat Lady refuses to let Sirius through her portrait hole, Sirius slashes her portrait. This means that he TURNED INTO HIS DOG FORM in order to slash the portrait with his claws. Why didn't the Fat Lady report having seen Sirius turn into a dog?

All of this is logical thinking. Remember, Hermione says that wizards are not logical.

Hermione is logical, so why didn't she think of using the Maurader's Map to look for Scabbers or for Sirius Black?

Surely there's got to be some logical folks in the MoM!
