	He may have seen them, and been puzzled, and then,  too discrete, 
to mention it. He does say he thought the  map was malfunctioning (and 
no wonder)!
	On a related note: There are obviously some areas of Hogwarts that 
don't show up on the map. The Chamber of Secrets is surely not visible. 
It's possible that the map doesn't reveal who is in sleeping quarters 
(like Hagrid's). That would explain why Pettigrew, who spent most of  
his time asleep in the dorm, was never spotted, and why Lupin says he 
saw three go into Hagrid's and four come out.
	This may have been a conscious decision by MWPP, to lessen the 
possibility of  the Map being used as a tool for blackmail...one should 
never meddle in the affairs of wizards <g>.
