Corrected entry: In Return of the Jedi, both Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were not aware that there was another Skywalker, Leia, until Yoda explained to them. In Revenge of the Sith, it was very obvious that Obi-Wan was holding Luke and Leia was born while he was still nearby. Therefore the fact Obi-Wan did not know about Leia is somewhat strange.

Corrected entry: After Professor Lupin confiscated the Marauder's Map from Harry Potter, Harry told Lupin that he saw Peter Pettigrew's name on the map. Although both Lupin and Potter did have their own knowledge about Pettigrew, Lupin was his friend and Potter learned from overhearing the conversation between Professor McGonagall, Madame Rosmerta and Cornelius Fudge, there was no indication that they ever had any conversation about Peter Pettigrew. Lupin's reaction to Harry's revelation was rather odd because he looked worried instead of surprised that Potter already had some information about Pettigrew. Potter himself also seemed really familiar with the name rather than showing any indication of curiosity about Pettigrew. Such a profound discovery should have made him question Lupin about the nature of the finding rather than just walking away from his office. (01:18:45)
Correction: First of all, Lupin and Harry needn't have had any conversations regarding Pettigrew, Lupin knows that Harry could easily have already found out about the infamous circumstances surrounding his parents' deaths. When Harry tells Lupin he saw Pettigrew's name on the map, Lupin's immediate reaction is not about how Harry knows the name Pettigrew, but rather the more important issue of Pettigrew's name actually being on the map, because the map doesn't lie. The fact that Harry chooses not to question Lupin about Pettigrew is a deliberate decision Harry makes when Lupin admonishes him. He feels guilty especially after his experience in the corridor when the map 'falsely' indicated that Pettigrew was passing him. There is no factual, or any other kind of mistake, regarding Harry's or Lupin's behavior.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Corrected entry: When Professor Snape caught Harry missing the curfew, Professor Lupin came to intervene and save Harry from being punished. Lupin also took a parchment, the Marauder's Map, before Snape could confiscate it and asked Harry to come to his office. In his office Lupin mentioned to Harry that the map was a weapon for Sirius Black but he never asked Harry what is hidden inside the parchment nor did Harry ever mention a word about the map. Obviously Lupin should have had no knowledge about the Marauder's Map if he have never even heard anything about it. (01:17:40)
Correction: Lupin was one of the people who MADE the Marauder's Map (he was the "Mooney" in "Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs).
Already knowing what it is would be really suspicious. I mean, if he didn't want anyone to know he made the map or even what it is, he would probably want to pretend and say something along the lines of "what is this".

Correction: Obi-Wan DID know about Leia (after all, he was the one who explained to Luke that he had a twin sister); in Empire, he mentions that Luke is their "last hope" because Leia doesn't know about her powers or heritage, and he doesn't think they'll be able train her in time (if at all).
