10 Niggling Harry Potter Questions JK Rowling Must Answer

7. Were Fred And George Blind To The Man In Ron's Bed?

Fred and George not noticing Peter Pettigrew sleeping in Ron€™s bed every night on the Marauder€™s map is quite a serious plot hole. In their first year, Fred and George Wesley stole the Marauder€™s map, which showed everyone€™s location in Hogwarts. Ron inherited Scabbers, Percy€™s old rat, when he first went to school. Scabbers was really Peter Pettigrew in hiding. So, logically, why wouldn€™t Fred or George (or Harry, for that matter) have been able to see Pettigrew hanging out in Ron€™s room for years? Even if Fred and George didn€™t recognize the name Pettigrew as the man Sirius Black supposedly murdered, wouldn€™t it still have been odd to have seen a stranger they didn€™t know following their brother around all the time on the map?

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
