Or perhaps snakes are disallowed because then the Gryffindors would ask to be allowed pet lions.

And you wouldn't want an explicit rule against pet lions, because then the Gryffindors would definitely have secret pet lions.

I read a crackfic once where this loophole allowed Calvin to bring Hobbes to Hogwarts. (Hobbes is, of course, a magical creature that Muggles perceive as a stuffed toy.)

...if it is not ( http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2134884/1/Calvin_and_Hobbes_go_to_Hogwarts ), then I would like a link to that fic, please.

I am simultaneously dismayed and impressed that you two could be talking about two different such fanfics.
