Marauder's Map problem

[Bugg]

No: HPFGUIDX 16969

The Marauder's Map may be showing what is relevant to the area or 
situation. Wormtail new it did not show the inside of Hagrids hut so 
he hid there. It insulted Snape when he tried to activate it. 
Interesting theory about movement, Scabbers [wormtail] was moving 
along with Ron when he was being dragged.

map doesn't show every corner in the castle every time one looks at 
it.  I like your theory about what is moving is shown on the map, but 
I also think that the map doesn't always show each and every thing. 
Harry also does not look for every single person, creature or ghost 
when he uses the map!

And on page 193, again of the US edition, it shows Harry standing 
next to the humpbacked witch; he's not moving. It also shows him 
tapping it and saying Dissendium, even though he hasn't done either 
of those things.

Lupin says on page 347 that he thought the map was "malfunctioning" - 
that may be because he saw 2 harrys and 2 hermiones. Of course, it's 
possible that they were *off map* when they were hiding on the edge 
of the forbidden forrest, as they might have been when Lupin looked 
at the map.
