I think maybe DD knew that scabbers wasn't no ordinary
rat. And he allowed Percy and Ron to bring him to keep
an eye out for him. He may not have known he was Wormtail
and maybe he did. It could have been a feeling and
that's why he pushed for Lupin in the 3rd year, could
Lupin have been hired after Sirius escaped or was he
hired before. If Lupin was hired after, then maybe DD
thought that Scabbers was Wormtail, think about how DD
willingly believed HHR. Maybe he thought Sirious was
guilty, and then thought about it and just couldn't
believe it and tried to frind the truth.

My (Elihu's)answer:
 
Maybe Dumbledore can tell if someone had been confunded (Might this be an aspect of Leglimens?). He heard Sirius's story, including that HHR saw Scabbers turining into a person who was thought to be dead. He then decided to go check if Harry, Ron and Hermione agreed with that. They did, and they weren't confunded. So he knew that Black was right about some of the story, which would seem impossible if the rest isn't also true.
