Sorry to jump in so late, but I always thought (despite the movie 
showing his full name on the map) the Marauders would appear by 
their nicknames, so I think Pettigrew was safe from discovery. If 
the trio had seen 'Wormtail' on the map, they wouldn't have known 
who he was. Harry only "heard" the name when the map insulted Snape, 
so he knew he was one of its makers, I guess he'd have thought 
nothing of it. Remus, OTOH, recognized the name as soon as he saw 
it, since he'd used it for 7+ years.
