[Lee]:
It's probably definitely Snape's memory, and I figure the names were really
no big secret in and of themselves.  The reason for each name, however...ah,
therein lay the secret to all the rest of the school.

Yes, I feel pretty sure Snape didn't believe the joke shop story from Lupin.
But I don't think he really knew about the map...but I wouldn't bet a
cheesecake. :-)

Cheers,
