[HPforGrownups] exchanging money (was: Muggle-borns/Magical abilities)

Nothing is really stopping him, per se, other than his concern that the Dursleys' horror of all things wizarding wouldn't extend to a huge pile of gold. 

In other words, perhaps he doesn't want to tip them off for fear they'd try to take it from him?

Turning that on its head then...
If Harry has a Gringotts vault full of galleons, sickles and knuts, why does
he not use it more to his advantage in the muggle world? As late as POA (and
possibly GOF, though I can't specifically recall), Harry is described as
wearing Dudley's too-big clothes and inheriting Uncle Vernon's particularly
nasty socks. Is there anything stopping him from exchanging some wizard
money into stirling and going clothes shopping?
