Trevor -- not the ideal pet

I just finished reading SS again, and it occurred to me that a frog 
is not the ideal pet to give to a forgetful, clumsy boy.  Looks like 
a frog would be hard for any kid to keep up with. Trevor seems to 
excacerbate Neville's inadequacies (which may be JKR's intent, I 
admit, to help establish Neville and forgetful, etc. in the first 
book).  There is nothing to indicate that money was a problem for 
Uncle Algie in choosing a pet to give to Neville.   I would think 
that a cat or an owl would have been more helpful.
