Just had a thought.  Given Snape's intellectual brilliance, it is entirely possible that after seeing MWP&P's map, he could have made his own; it would have come in especially useful during Harry's 6th year when he (Snape) needed to keep tabs on Draco.  It would also give him a reason to be sitting in his office, all those times when Harry found him there that year.

I know, I'm probably really stretching at this point.
