I think this scene was in PS. My take on it is that Scabbers had just
been given to Ron by Percy, and perhaps he wanted to make sure that
Ron would treat him as well as Percy did. Sounds a bit stupid, I know,
but I think he wanted to introduce himself as a good pet. Just my
thoughts about this incident.
