[Lee]:
I can subscribe to these thoughts, but want to throw another one in the
hopper.

Yes, Ron said he got Scabbers from Percy; he did not indicate if Percy had
gotten him from Charlie or Bill, or if the rat had been given to Percy
directly.

So, this could further substantiate the time factor.

Cheers,
