About buying books each year...

Ok, I get how George and Fred each need their own books, but at least some of these books they only use one year (the charms book for one)  Why can Ginny just use the Ron's, George's, Fred's, Percy's, Charlie's, Bill's old books?

  One for the "Could Ron be a seer?" file:
  Ron on Gilderoy Lockhart:
  "Rubbish,"said Hermione.  "You've read his books--look at all those amazing 
  things he's done--"
  "He *says* he's done," Ron muttered.  (CoS, US ed, p. 103)

  OK, so maybe it doesn't require too much Divination skill, but no one else 
  seems to think he's really a fake at that point.


  And two for the "Is george the more senstive twin?" file:

  After getting the booklists:
  "That lot won't come cheap," said George, with a quick look at his parents.  
  "Lockhart's books are really expensive..." (CoS, US ed, p. 44)

  AND he's still worried about it later, when the boys are playing Quidditch 
  outside:
  "Dunno how Mom and Dad are going to afford all our school stuff this year," 
  said george after awhile.  "Five sets of Lockhart books! And Ginny needs new 
  robes and a wand and everything..."  CoS, US ed, p. 46.

  Just thought it was interesting that George was the one so concerned in light 
  of our recent discussions about the twins.  I had never noticed the difference 
  before.
