and going.  But it doesn't answer your original question of why
Pettigrew didn't show up on the map.  If the occupants of
Hagrid's hut were visible on the Map, then Pettigrew's name
would have been right there when Lupin first saw them enter."

I meant Pettigrew *does* show up on the map, but Lupin wasn't looking in
Hagrid's hut.
The reason I have so much trouble believing the map doesn't show inside the
hut is my assumption of how the map was made. I don't believe they 'draw'
it. That piece of parchment was enchanted to show the Hogwarts area; why
wouldn't it show the hut?

Lupin was searching for Black - it was not to expect that he would be found
having tea with Hagrid. He saw the 'second' Harry and run to DD. Note:

"It was a map showing *every* detail of Hogwarts castle and grounds. But the
truly remarkable thing were the *tiny* ink dots moving around it, each
labeled with a name in *minuscule* writing." - PoA, X (my enphasis)
