I think you are on the right track. At some point, Percy, the model
student, got permission to have the rat Scabbers as a pet at Hogwarts
thereby creating an acception to the owl, toad, and cat only rule.
That premission was officially or unofficially inherited by Ron, and
that allowed him to continue to bring Scabbers to school.

Just a thought.
