| I was thinking about this yesterday.  Whenever Harry used the map in the
| book, it was to go to Hogsmeade.  at those times, Ron was already in
| Hogsmeade, wasn't he?  So Harry wouldn't have seen Peter's name because
| Peter was with Ron.  after Peter faked his death by Crookshanks, we don't
| know where he was, except that he ended up in a bottle in Hagrid's hut on
| the fateful day.  I think he must have been off the grounds in some way
| every time Harry looked at the map, otherwise, Harry would have seen his
| name.  Unless Harry just wasn't looking in the right place, being
| focused on
| who might catch him sneaking out, not on who might be wandering on the
| grounds.  If that makes any sense.

That makes perfect sense to me.  Harry's attention was on his immediate
surroundings, I think, making sure that, probably in particular, Snape or
Filch wouldn't see him.

In many refs to the map, like in GOF for example, Harry would look
particularly for those two and for Mrs. Norris to be sure his coast was
clear.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
