>Hang on here.  I believe that the book indicates that Lupin saw 
both Sirius Blacks and Peter's names on the map and that was what 
brought him running to the Shrieking Shack (although why he left the 
map behind for Snape to find, I can't imagine).  Shouldn't Snape 
have seen both Pettigrews AND Blacks names on the map?
