You have to admit that it is a pretty nasty little shock to look down at the 
map and see Sirius and Pettigrew's names listed.  I mean, Sirius is an 
escaped convict and Pettigrew is supposed to be dead.  I think that in this 
circumstance, most of us wouldn' t think twice about running out to see what 
was up.  As to why he didn't stop to get another teacher...well, i think he 
much bigger things on his mind.  If it were me in his shoes, I wouldn't stop 
to think, "hey, maybe I should get someone to help" I think that seeing those 
two names would blow my mind and render me unable to think of anything else.
