Here is my theory about Scabbers the rat violating the 'owl/cat/toad'
rule.

Scabbers at one time belonged to Percy. Since Percy was a model
student and a master of 'kissing up'. I think he was give permission
to have Scabbers the Rat, and when Ron inherited the rat, he also
assumed he inherited the permisson; which may or may not have been true.

True, Lee Jordan had a tarantula at the train station, and if you are
like me, you assumed he brought it to Hogwarts, but I don't recall any
mention of it at Hogwarts, only the train station. So, unless I'm
mistaken, we don't actually know that Lee brought the spider to
school. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me.

Back to Scabbers, I think he had implied permission to be there via Percy.
