PforParvati now:
  I agree with you that Sirius must have told Dumbledore about Harry
had seen Barty Crouch on the Map, burgling Snape's office. But it
looks funny that Dumbledore knows about this incident still he
doesn't know about the map.

Here are the quotes from the interrogation of Crouch Jr.

"....I used the map I had taken from Harry Potter.  The map that had
almost ruined everything."
"Map?"  said Dumbledore quickly.  "What map is this?"

It looks like Dumbledore doesn't know about the map. He should have
known at least the existence of such map. Sirius must have told him
that. [ or did Lupin handed it back to Harry without telling
Dumbledore  about it in PoA..?]

Ok..I am combining two separate incidences here. But Dumbledore's
question `What map is this' is really confusing or rather the
word `quickly' is making it more confusing. If Dumbledore was aware
of the map, would he had asked the question that quickly
or is he
pretending he doesn't know about it in front of Snape and McGonagall
since it was out of discipline to allow such map.

PforParvati, becoming confused more and more
