Did the Weasley twins see Peter Pettigrew on the map?

Why did nobody notice Peter Pettigrew on the map?

How did Harry not see Peter Pettigrew?

Can you see animagus on the Marauders map?

Unless Fred and George were watching Ron sleep on the map (which would be creepy), they wouldn't have noticed Pettigrew. It's only possible to see a human changed in his animagus form if you know the person is one. Therefore: Remus saw Peter on the map, he also saw Sirius. Harry DIDN'T see either.

Why didn't Lupin see two Harry's on the map?
