Sirius reports to Dumbledore ("You are not Sirius's only 
correspondent").  So, presumably, does Snape, though this is 
not confirmed until Book Five.

 Dumbledore would know, from Snape, that Snape's office has 
been burgled and polyjuice makings have gone missing, and , 
from Sirius, that Harry thinks Barty Crouch was the burglar. Sirius 
wouldn't have had to reveal anything about the Map--if he said 
that Harry spotted Barty Crouch in Snape's office, that would be 
perfectly true.


Naturally, having discovered an impostor, Dumbledore 
remembers that Barty Crouch is suspected of burgling Snape's 
office, and sends for Winky at once.
