You know, I forgot about them!  How could I?!  I wish JKR would write in
some of Ron's gifts in one of the future books, that could get interesting!

I never really thought that any of the students knew anything about Peter
Pettigrew.  No one (student) seemed to know about Sirius Black until he
escaped from Azkaban.  And Lupin wasn't remembered by anyone, no one seemed
to have a previous recollection of hearing his name before.  So why should
Peter be known by students?

Also, I've always thought that the writing on the map must be very small.
One would have to be looking for it to see it, so the twins would probably
have ignored everything except what they were interested in.
