Ron & Scabbers

Hello, I just found this group and I'm sure this has been 
discussed before. If you could be so kind and kind of point me to 
a post or something I'd appreciate it.

In COS when Harry is looking over his list for items he needs for 
Hogwarts it lists: An Owl, Cat, or Toad.

So any theories on how Ron is allowed to bring Scabbers which 
is a rat, if a rat is not included on the list?

Maybe Dumbledore knew (and forgive me here because I don't 
have my books handy) that Peter could change and was just 
letting him come to the school to keep tabs on him until needed?
