Like so many of Ron's things, Scabbers is a hand-me-down.  One of the older 
Weasley boys had already brought Scabbers to school as a familiar, so nobody 
would have thought twice about it.  And the limit apparently only applies to 
first-years, as Hermione later brings a cat (Yes, Crookshanks is a CAT, dammit!) 
and one of the other boys (Lee?) has what appears to be a giant tarantula.
