Now, that makes sense.  I mean, <sarcasm>we've NEVER heard of Dumbledore 
doing anything like bending rules, have we?  </sarcasm> (*gigglesnort*)  The map 
is obviously smarter than Harry has yet realized.  It does seem to show those who 
are up to no good, both in shared cause with the map-holder or against the map-
holder (ie, those who would help the map-holder's mischief and those who would 
hinder it), while those who would not have much impact either way seem to be 
inconsequential to the map, and therefore are not shown.

I suspect that anyone who was within discovery range of the map-holder's 
entrance/exit from the tunnels would show up, though, regardless of their motives in 
being there.
