I have a fish too.. a betta.. named Bob.  Someone I know claimed to have
a Betta named Alpha...

Oh, forgot about Hagrid having Fang, but you never hear about him
bringing Fang or any of the other animals into the castle, keeping them
in a stable/barn or his house near the woods.  Note Buckbeak and Norbert
sorta 'visited' the castle in a way, but Hargrid wasn't the one who took
them there.  Fluffy the three headed dog was a special case, being as he
was used as a guard dog and was not seen again after the first book nor
really shown in a scene acting like a pet. Could you picture Hagrid
taking him for 'walkies' or throwing tree limbs for him to fetch?

You would not want to see me in the WW though, as I would be bugging
Hargrid all the time to see what new critters he had. I must be one of
the few who would have found Blast-Ended Skrewts fascinating.  Though he
might have been appalled if I wanted to dissect one to find out how they
'blasted'.  Was a biology major, so I would be wanting to know how they
ticked. ;)

However, as for pets at Hoggwarts, I would think that unless the pet is
so large or dangerous that it would disrupt classes, the staff most
likely don't care what the kids keep.  I mean after all, they are
transforming animals in classes, learning to care for them in Hagrid's
classes and chopping up dead ones for potions.  Why would the staff care
about a pet rat?  Its not like someone is bringing a pet tiger,
poisonous serpent or griffin to school, which some of the rich brats
like Malfoy night even have.

One wonders if the house elves clean up after pet cats or do their
owners?
