>A further matter that has been of interest to  me, and for which 
I have yet to see an explanation is how come Snape  seemingly 
never figured out that Scabbers was Wormtail and that may bear  
further examination. Not by me here and now, but perhaps one 
day in the  not too distant future I will look into it more 
closely again, unless  someone wants to offer an explanation, 
which would be  welcome.

>Julie:
>Others have said it, but it boils down to the  fact that we have no
evidence that Snape even knew the Maurauders were  Animagi,
let alone what animal forms they took, or what names they
used  (e.g. Wormtail for Peter). Thus there's no reason for 
Snape to even consider  Scabbers to be anything other than 
what he appears.

This discussion made me wonder.   How did Lucius Malfoy recognize  Padfoot on 
the 9 3/4  Hogwarts train platform?  Did he know the  Marauders were Animagi? 
 How?  And how would he be able to recognize  Sirius? Could Draco have told 
him?
