I agree here totally and another thing that has bugged me as I 
recently re-read all four books, why don't the Weasley children pass 
books on to each other? I mean if all of them went to Hogwarts surely 
they all could have used the same books. The school supplies list 
tells them they need new books each year. Couldn't Ginny have had 
Ron's books from the year before? Even if Bill's and Charlie's school 
books had long since disintergrated why can't Ron have Percy's or the 
twins' books from the previous years? They seem to pass everything 
else down the family, why not new books? Unless the text books chnage 
every year but from what we saw of Ginny's list they don't seem to. 
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
