<Raises hand.> We keep a tank here at work and until recently had a 
Betta named Alpha. We thought we were so clever. Guess not.

Anyway, my take on the cat OR owl OR toad was that it was a clue that 
Scabbers was not as he seemed. It bothered me from the beginning that 
Ron was allowed to have him, and as soon as Scabbers' identity was 
revealed, I immediately thought of the letter. I'm not saying he was 
allowed because anybody suspected what he was, but rather that JKR 
was simply giving a subtle clue.

Too subtle for me, though. When Scabbers was revealed I had a hard 
time believing it. Sure, the Weasleys were a good wizarding family, 
and having Arthur at the MoM was particularly helpful to Peter, but 
what are the odds that Ron would become best friends with Harry? 
*That* was just unbelievably lucky.
