Does any one knows where Percy got Scabbers? If he was his pet before,
he must have got Scabbers somehow, didn't he know, the humungous 
bighead, that it was "a common garden mouse", or was he in allegiance
with the Dark Side all along, the traitorous wizard.
Pets don't just appear out of nowhere, except cats, that is. But 
there is a mouse in my bed, I just keep it there? I don't think so. 
So, how did Scabbers become a pet, from a filthy pest?

Great point and one I never thought of. Where did Scabbers come from?
After the way Percy acted in OOTP he my well have had a allegiance with
the dark Side long ago. He has long thought that his family being poor
was due to the fact that his parents didn't rub elbows with the right
people.  Maybe he thinks the Dark side is the right one to rub elbows
with to get what he wants.
