Actually, Harry  didn't  see his own ink figure on the map until 
he'd stepped outside the classroom where Fred and George 
gave it to him.

a new ink figure had appeared upon it, labeled *Harry Potter*."

So there are  dead zones on the map. If Peter feared discovery 
after faking his death,  he'd naturally look for a place that 
Crookshanks would avoid also and Hagrid's hut fills the bill 
there,too, since Hagrid dislikes cats. 

ESE!Lupin knew that Peter was at Hogwarts, but he was taken in 
by the second fake death, I believe, until he saw Peter on the 
map.
