Actually, from what I understood of the book, the map only showed things in
Hogwarts' grounds, and the kids were already in the Shrieking Shack, which
was in Hogsmead (sp?). So, they couldn't have appeared in the map.

That means Snape was only being his traumatized kid-self when he followed
Remus. (don't take this sentence too seriously, snape fans!)
