Since its not part of the other years letters, maybe they are 
allowed other animals?  Perhaps Ron's rat was acceptable due to 
being 'small' and was not considered a problem... or he kept 
Scabbers well hidden from the staff all the time, being as some of 
the staff 'might' recognize he wasn't really a rat in some way.  
Dumbledore certainly knew Sirius when he saw him as a dog."

Well, the question of Ron's rat has been debated, I don't know what 
the general theory was. However, Dumbledore knowing Sirius on site, 
well, there is the possibility that he KNEW that WPP were Animagi. 
So he might have known already Sirius was the black dog. Or perhaps 
when Dumbledore was in contact with Sirius during GoF, Sirius told 
him that he was an Animagi, and his form was a big black dog. 
Besides, even the pet shop proprieter thought Scabbers was a reall 
rat, and not even a magical one. One would think that she of all 
people could tell the difference. 
Also, it has been brought up that Hermione doesn't drag Crookshanks 
everywhere, so Trevor is special in that way. If she dragged 
Crookshanks everywhere, I'm sure we would have gotten the 
comment "why, how extraordianry, your cat is half-kneazel!" Of 
course, the pet shop proprieter may not have known that, either. 
Which contradicts my previous statement about Scabbers. Oh well, 
there's some ideas.
 
"One would guess that other small pets were tolerated and the staff 
just ignored them unless they got into trouble. I could only see 
Filch or Snape making an issue of a pet that wasn't on the list, 
then only to scare the student more."

Hence Trevor.

"For all of the allowing of owls, toads and cats, we see the 
majority have owls and there are few mentioned toads or cats 
around."  

Lee Jordan had a tarantula in SS/PS. Though I don't know if that was 
just for fun, or if he had it as his pet. I don't see the point of 
having a cat or a toad, though, except for fun. Even Hagrid 
said "Owls are dead useful" (in SS/PS. And as far as I know, none of 
Harry's friends seems to have an owl, except Percy and Ron. 

"One would think that some of the staff would have pets, other then 
Dumbledore's Phoenix and Filch's cat.  I could see Prof Sprout as 
having some sort of affectionate plant, like a big Venus Fly Trap?  
Maybe Snape has a raven, a black cat... or a hamster named 'Poofles' 
that none will EVER know about and live to tell. ;)"
 
I put forth the theory that he owned a fluffy white cat, or a white 
cat named "Fluffy", I don't remember which, though. A hamster 
named "Poofles" is just as good, though. Perhaps funnier, 
because...hamsters are funny. In reality, I could see him having a 
raven, though.
