Sneakoscope question

Hi all.   
 
Another question I hope you smarties can help me with.  I'm rereading POA (again!!) and during the Hogwarts Express trip to school, Harry, Ron and Hermione are in the train compartment with a sleeping Lupin and for apparently no reason, the sneakoscope Ron had given to Harry for a birthday gift started going off.
 
"No one knows how he got out of Azkaban," said Ron uncomfortably.  "No one's ever done it before.  And he was a top-security prisoner, too."
"But they'll catch him, won't they?" said Hermione earnestly.  "I mean, they've got all the Muggles looking out for him too...."
"What's that noise?" said Ron suddenly.
"A faint, tinny sort of whistle was coming from somewhere.  They looked all around the compartment.
"It's coming from your trunk, Harry," said Ron, standing up and reaching into the luggage rack.  A moment later he had pulled the Pocket Sneakoscope out from between Harry's robes.  It was spinning very fast in the palm of Ron's hand and glowing brilliantly.
 
Is it to do with Pettigrew!Scabbers?  Or is Lupin only pretending to sleep and eavesdropping?  Any thoughts on who's being untrustworthy??
 
Jen (who wishes she had her own sneakoscope)
