of its own.  Perhaps it tunes in to the thoughts of the reader and 
shows what the reader needs to see.  Lupin could see Pettigrew 
because he knew Pettigrew was an Animagus.  Maybe Harry et al only 
saw Scabbers because that's how they knew him.>>>

Yeah, that sort of messes it up, doesn't it?  

Okay, let's say the map can see through the effects of Polyjuice 
Potion, but not the more complete transformation of an Animagus...
