The only thing that backs up this theory is the fact that Amethyst Pearl and Garnet had never met Lion until the episode he was introduced. So he couldnt have been Roses pet. if lion is related to rose, why the crystal gems never met lion until the episode? :>

Because Rose kept Lion a secret form the other Gems (from everybody). For when the time comes that she had to give up her physical form and gem to Steven, there would be someone whom Rose could trust to watch over her son.
