Because he's talking about Hogwarts and goes on to explain to Harry
that his older brothers have made their own marks on the school, all
he gets is hand-me-downs, he's worried about being seen as just the
kid brother, etc.  He's not talking about his family and his place in
it. (SS/PS, CHapter 6)

I agree with MA that speculations about Molly being a step-mum and a
missing Weasley are exactly that without some indication from JKR
that there's something there.
