Why _would_ LV call PP Wormtail? It was his nickname,
and I doubt the entire school called PP "Wormtail". If the nickname
was known by their schoolmates, then why didn't Snape know/figure out
who had made the map? (GoF). Particularly since the map insults
him! Since SS went to school with the Marauders, if the nickname was
that popular, it seems to me he of all people would have known. But
SS doesn't know, even though he went to school with these guys, and
yet LV does know! Legilimens?

I think that Snape knew wormtail's name as well.  I think that when 
Snape sees the map the reason he shows it to Lupin is because he 
thinks or suspects that Harry got the map from him. We even hear 
James and gang calling each other by their animagus nicknames in 
Snape's penseive memories (that is if this is really Snape's 
memory).
