Eloise:
Harry told Ron and Hermione about the map when he met them in 
Honeydukes, the first time he used it, in December. Scabbers didn't 
disappear until January. 

Begs the question of where Scabbers was at the time. Does Ron 
habitually carry him around? Was he there when Harry explained about 
the map? I don't think Harry uses it again before Scabbers 
disappears, but it seems a little unlikely that they *never* 
discussed it at all in the intervening month, especially as it was 
the holidays and they would have had plenty of opportunity to speak 
to each other openly without risk of being overheard.
