<insert lots of stuff about Snape thinking Black is Wormtail from Pippin>

Actually, I have my own theory on the map. Severus could have recognized it 
from back in his school days with "The Marauders". Black (I think) said that 
Snape was always following them around trying to get them expelled/in 
trouble. At another point, Lupin tells Harry that Filch took the map from 
from them. The always-on-their-tails Snape could've seen this. Perhaps Snape 
has a very good memory and recognized the map. Or perhaps it was even a topic 
of conversation with Snape and Filch at some point, but of course Filch 
couldn't've given Snape the map/parchment to poke around with then because 
Fred and George stole it.
