In GoF, Harry buys an expensive souvenier for Ron at the Quidditch 
World Cup.  Ron becomes very flustered, insisting that it costs too 
much, but Harry smoothes this over by saying it will be his Christmas 
present for "the next ten years."  Ron later pays Harry back, but 
with Leprechaun gold.  Months later, when Ron learns that Leprechaun 
gold disappears within a few hours, he's upset that Harry hadn't told 
him it disappeared.  He becomes even MORE upset when Harry admits 
that he didn't even notice that it had disappeared.  "Must be nice," 
Ron said abruptly...."To have so much money you don't notice if a 
pocketful of Galleons goes missing."

Harry learns his lesson, and the next time he wants to buy Ron 
something expensive, he gives the money to Fred and George and tells 
them to tell Ron it's from them.
