"I can't find any evidence in the books for any of these. None of them are plotbreakers - the Twins just might not be very observant, just like they never happenned to look for Scabbers on the map. But I still wonder . . ."

Yeah, peeves was on the map wasn't he?  But, I don't know if animals would be, remember Pettigrew is human, so he should be there--but would every toad, rat and owl?  I doubt it.  So, that would explain why Scabbers wasn't looked for or found on the map.

As far as Voldemort, when he was on Quirell's head, he wasn't quite human.  Wasn't quite dead either.  Maybe his enhabiting Quirell's actual body was enough to fool the map?
