Interesting question and not interesting at the same time. With
respect to Hagrid's hut, I suspect that it wasn't there. Hagrid wasn't
game master then... maybe it was there and the previous game master
kept the hut. In either case it is probably on the map BUT Lupin
didn't bother to look for Peter there because a) Peter was dead and b)
there is no way Hagrid would hide Peter.

The room of requirements seems to be non-normal space... or at the
very least non-plotable. In either case obviously not something that
would end up on the map. Perhaps it is simply, somewhere else.

The CoS... given that NO ONE knew where the chamber was apparently
except Harry who found it later, there would be no way for it to get
onto the map in the first place... to paraphrase Prof. McG... "The
castle has been searched over and over and the chamber has never been
found..."

They had an invisibility cloak. I suspect they could get into just
about any common areas. Wonder if they plotted the girl's bathrooms?
Do the girl Prefects have their own bathroom or was that a common
bathtub... Saturday nights in the Prefect's bathroom have a whole new
meaning for 5th, 6th, and 7th years.
