I also noticed this...being a single rather lower-income mom of 5 kids!  It 
really annoyed me that the family would take trips to Egypt, etc...yet Ron 
gets crap for magical supplies and (HORRORS) hand me down Dress-Robes!  Mrs. 
Weasly says something like 'We just can't afford new ones!"  Yet...can't they 
magically fix them to look decent??   Its like the family really cares only 
about the older boys who they are so  proud of, but poor Ron is left with 
used junk!  I was SO happy at the end of the 4th book when Harry asked the 
twins to please get Ron some new Dress-Robes!  But sad that his own mother 
couldn't see the need.  (And frankly, as a Pagan who frequents many rituals 
with children, its not hard to make nice robes for real cheap!)

<< Also, another thing I've wondered about: Ron uses a
"hand-me-down wand in the first 2 books. How does this
influence his studies?

As we have seen when Harry gets his wand, things can go
quite wrong, if the wand isn't right for the wizard. >>
