[HPforGrownups] Marauder's Map Folly?

Rachel asks: 

In Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry, Ron, and Hermione go to see Hagrid before 
Buckbeak's execution.  While they are in his hut, Ron finds Scabbers (a.k.a.

Peter Pettigrew).  Lupin becomes aware of the fact that Pettigrew is still 
alive based on the Marauder's Map he is looking at at the time.

My question is - when Harry and Hermione use the Time-Turner to save 
Buckbeak and Sirius, why does Lupin not see two Harrys and two Hermiones?  
Snape as well does not notice this when he arrives to give Lupin his potion 
and sees the map.  Is there any explanation for this?

[Now Tammy says:]  While I don't have my canon readily to hand, I do believe
that Hagrid's hut doesn't show up on the Map, which is one good reason why
Pettigrew, who helped write the Map, would have hidden out there.   Also, if
I remember rightly, at the time when Lupin and Snape would have each had a
look at the Map, the Time-Turned Harry and Hermione were still over near
Hagrid's place, hence off the Map.  At least, that's my explanation for it.
I hope that helps.  :-)
