  I imagine that the twins found the parchment and in spite of it probably being blank, they must have realized there was something to it because it was in a drawer labeled "dangerous."  I also imagine that they tried to discern it's purpose in much the same way that Snape did, by casting various revealing spells, and the map responded to them, as it did to Snape, but with very different comments.  There is also other evidence that the map can be helpful when it wants to be.  As Harry stands in front of the door to the secret passage, wondering how to open it, he sees himself on the map tapping the door and saying "dissendium."
