and Hermione in the Forbidden Forest, too?  We know from Harry's 
Crouch Sr. experience in GOF that the map covers at least the 
outskirts of the forest.  Any theories?

No theories, sorry.  Instead another question.  Lupin said he saw 
Harry, Ron and Hermione not just go to Hagrids, but enter the hut.  
This suggests to me that the hut is on the map.

If this is the case, why don't people inside the hut show up on the 
map?  People inside the castle do.  However, Lupin speaks of the three 
coming and going, but not what they do in the mean time.  Further, 
Harry never noticed Pettigrew's dot on the map, between his 
disappearance and recovery.

Could it be that the mapmakers didn't plot the interior of Hagrid's 
hut and garden?  Wouldn't it, then, make a wonderful hiding place for 
miscellaneous miscreants to hide?

Pettigrew (PoA) and Sirius (GoF) both used it, so why not?
Cheers,
Gwen.
