How do the dots work?

I have always thought that the dots only show what might be of 
interest to mischief makers.  To wit, a teacher safely in his or her 
sleeping quarters is not a threat, but a student or ghost wandering 
the halls who might stumble upon them is.  If the map showed the 
location of everybody in the castle all the time, it would be 
information overload.  But if it only showed those out-and-about, it 
would have meaning.
